Abstract
This article discusses the remarkable conversation between Ernst Bloch and Theodor W. Adorno regarding the relationship between utopia and death. It unpacks the antinomy of death and analyzes the motif of an ever diminishing – and, hence, minimally theological – messianic hope in light of the no less theological trope of the restitution or redemption of all things, whose maximal effect ties a shared profound metaphysical intuition with a deeply pragmatic effect or impetus. This said, Bloch always remained a Schellingian Marxist, whereas Adorno ended up as Platonist of the non-identical. This is where their common path parts ways.
