Donald Judd, Untitled, 1988-91 (Israeli Museum).Theodor Adorno writes:The individualistic society has its limitations and its particular features; they can be read off the so-called basic problem of moral philosophy, that of free will. That is why for a moral philosophy which is necessarily a theory of private ethics, the highest point it can rise to is that of the antinomy of causality and freedom which figures in Kant’s philosophy in an unresolved and therefore exemplary fashion. But what appears in Kant as the intertwining of man and nature is also the intertwining of man and society. For in that second nature, in our universal state of dependency, there is no freedom. And for that reason there is no ethics either in the administered world. It follows that the premise of ethics is the critique of the administered world. -- source link
