Abstract: As a key thinker of Frankfurt School s social critical theory, T.W.Adorno explores the false and deceptive character of culture and art in advanced capitalist society in his critique of culture industry. On the basis of this critique, Adorno further differentiates free time and leisure time in various texts such as  Culture Criticism and Society  and  Free Time  after the World War Ⅱ. In his view, the freedom organized by culture industry is a kind of forced freedom, in which people are engaged in some kinds of false activities. Put it in another way, mere leisure time is not really free time. In fact, we can find a distinctive way from the critique of culture industry to that of society and history in Adorno s nonidentical philosophy. What s more, his contemplation of free time aims to overcome the totally alienated conditions in advanced capitalist society.

Key words: Adorno, free time, leisure time, culture industry, false activity

摘要: 作为法兰克福学派社会批判理论的代表,阿多诺的文化工业批判理论直指发达资本主义社会中文化艺术领域的虚假与欺骗特性。在《文化批评与社会》《自由时间》等二战后发表的多篇文稿中,阿多诺在文化工业批判的基础上,进一步区分了自由时间与闲暇时间,并认为被文化工业组织好的自由是一种强迫性的自由,人们在这种强迫性自由中的活动不过是虚假活动。换言之,单纯的闲暇时间并非真正的自由时间。事实上,由文化工业批判到社会历史批判是阿多诺非同一性哲学思考的一条明确路径,他对自由时间的思考同样意在克服发达资本主义社会的总体异化状况。
