Özet
As efforts towards reconciling the thought of Hannah Arendt and Theodor Adorno gained momentum in the last decade, it seems an array of essential discrepancies have been failing to receive due attention. This article aims to foreground and explore one particular philosophical difference which stands in the way of such endeavours, focussing on Adorno's and Arendt's conceptualization of nature. It is argued that while Adorno's philosophy is poised to redeem nature from the pangs of false enlightenment, Arendt's redefinition of political existence upholds not only the careful separation of politics from nature but also emphasizes the former's superiority. Revisiting a set of arguments raised by Adorno against fundamental ontology such as the questions of hypostasis and tautology, it is explored in what ways Arendt's conceptualization of nature as eternal recurrence markedly and perhaps irreconcilably differs from the normative import of Adorno's understanding, which emphasizes the concrete unity of nature with history
