Abstract: This research aims to investigate the category of totality in the late Theodor W. Adorno, specially in Negative Dialectic, and its relation with the time diagnosis of the 1960s.Despite his emphatic criticism of the category of totality, Adorno still uses it in several fields of his analysis, such as the diagnosis of late capitalism through the concept of administered world.If, however, the totality must be exposed only in its negativity, or if it still keeps in itself, in a certain way, a normative horizon, is a question that does not reach consensus in the secondary literature, and which will be developed in our research.Therewith, we intend to achieve a better understanding of Adorno's own project of a negative dialectic and of its relation with the time diagnosis proposed by the philosopher in the 1960s.
