Abstrakt
This presentation attempts to investigate the question of style in the thought of Nietzsche and Adorno by analyzing the work of Heinz Krüger, a scholar of Adorno and the author of Der Aphorismus als philosophische Form. This book, that was published in 1957 with a preface by Adorno, is dedicated to the investigation of Nietzsche's aphoristic style.
An analysis of this texts reveals a deep affinity between Krügers reflections on the nietzschean aphorism and Adorno's considerations on style and the short form in his work of the sixties. The comparison of the two can become the key to reconstruct and determine the influence of Nietzsche on Adorno's thought.
