What that examination finds is that philosophical truth, as Adorno recommends it, is realized through “singular” philosophical experiences.

40Freedom from Autonomy: An Essay on AccountabilityKantian Review 25 (4): 655-674. 2020.Neo-Kantian philosophers see accountability as a key property of autonomy, or of social freedom more broadly.
