* Paradox o aesthetics<ref>"[Art's] paradoxical task is to attest to the lack of [[Dialectical synthesis|concord]] while at the same time working to abolish discordance" (Adorno quoted by James Martin Harding in [https://books.google.com/books?id=TuQALDWeLyYC&dq= ''Adorno and "a Writing of the Ruins"''], SUNY Press, 1997, p.&nbsp;30); variant translation by Robert Hullot-Kentor in Adorno, ''[[Aesthetic Theory]]'', 1997, University of Minnesota Press, p.&nbsp;168: "Paradoxically, art must testify to the unreconciled and at the same time envision its reconciliation; this is a possibility only for its nondiscursive language."<br/>(Original German: "''Paradox hat sie das Unversöhnte zu bezeugen und gleichwohl tendenziell zu versöhnen; möglich ist das nur ihrer nicht-diskursiven Sprache.''").</ref>
* [[Autonomy|Maturity]] (''Mündigkeit'')<ref>Adorno defined maturity as the courage and the ability to use one's own understanding independently of dominant heteronomous patterns of thought; see Macdonald, Iain (2011), [http://psc.sagepub.com/content/37/6/669.abstract "Cold, cold, warm: Autonomy, intimacy and maturity in Adorno"], ''Philosophy & Social Criticism'', '''37'''(6), 669–689.</ref>
