| Sumario: | This article analyzes the ways in which operated the recovering of the revolutionary bourgeois artistic heritage, following the main ideas of Theodor W. Adorno’s Minima Moralia. The event that we will analyze is revolutionary Russia and, within it, the recovery that A. Lunacharsky makes of the composer A. Scriabin and his work. Our hypothesis is that art can play a key role in thinking critically the society from an ethical perspective. Lunacharsky tried to interrelate the two issues in the pursuit of building a new society. Thus, two aspects traditionally disdained by the left tradition, ethics and bourgeois artistic heritage, are recovered and placed in a revolutionary context to develop critical thinking about the old and the new society. The work is divided into two parts. In the first, we discuss the contributions of Adorno to the thinking of the problem of social criticism from ethics and art. In the second, we analyze the specific case of Lunacharsky, showing how his recovery of Scriabin’s work was vital to devise an emancipated society. |
