In Adorno's Minima Moralia, unlike what most philosophical readings suggest, there is a productive moral philosophical insight to be discovered that is significant even independently of the work itself. The text analyses and interpretations in this commentary aim to uncover this insight, based on two theses: first, that the collection of aphorisms cannot ultimately be understood through a purely cultural and societal critical approach, and second, that despite its outward appearance, it forms a unity that is established by the gesture of Minima Moralia. For with each sentence, the individual aphorisms mean: "This is how it is." However, this "This is how it is" cannot be resolved into a context of argumentation or formulated as a reasoned thought. For: Either you see something - or you do not see it.
