Adorno, who has critical opinions on the positivist perspective that forms the essence of the illumination philosophy and the intellectual understanding that it relies on, expresses that Kant’s conception of freedom, which is firmly focused on lawful commitment, is of an abstract, discontinuous, compelling/pressive nature. Accordingly, Kant, who activates the mind in the face of the blind power of nature, explains freedom of action in the form of action according to pure mind. In Kant, which considers moral laws as freedom laws, freedom is regarded as a law that must both be used and obeyed in absolute manner and to be treated according to it. In this context, Adorno suggests that although it does not have authority, Kant’s moral philosophy is structured in such a way that it does not allow otherwise to behave. This study, based on Adorno’s opinions, aims to evaluate Kant’s concept of freedom within the aforementioned framework in four parts: (i) freedom as a balance force against nature’s causality; (ii) freedom separated from experience and tinsualized; (iii) freedom to act in the center of the law; (iii) freedom inherent in the morality of the bourgeois work.
