- In this article, I argue that Adorno's conception of a possible reconciliation with nature is neither one of complete synthesis, nor absolute alienation. The most elaborated formulations regarding the possibility of such a reconciliation, which would be tantamount to a liberated nature, are to be found in Adorno's aesthetics, and particularly in his discussion of the art–nature relation. The article engages Simon Hailwood’s recent criticism of the concept of the Anthropocene and his discussion of Adorno's conception of the domination of nature. While I concur with Hailwood's insistence on the idea of "alienation from nature" in order to reach a more appropriate understanding of our current predicament, his analysis of Adorno's take on this idea is problematic. I conclude by discussing another recent work on our troubled relationship with nature. While more attentive to artistic expressions than Hailwood's work, Andreas Malm's The Progress of This Storm constitutes an inverted parallel to the former through its negligence of Adorno’s contribution to the discussion of the human–nature dialectic.
