Catarsis y Estremecimiento: Claves para entender una crítica de la identidad en la experiencia musical y su politización. Perspectivas para el problema de la utilización del arte en Aristóteles desde la crítica de la catarsis de Theodor Adorno

Abstract

This work exposes the concept o f Catharsis in Aristotle, keeping in mind the
Stagirite’s use of music in Politics, and then contrasts it with the concept of Shudder
that Theodor W. Adorno treats in his posthumous work Aesthetic Theory. It can be
pointed out that the concept of the philosopher of the Frankfurt School is closely related to the Aristotelian concept insofar as it starts from the critique to the catharsis
and then overcome in the concept o f shudder the utilitarian view of music in Aristotle.
