In this text, the author offers a intellectual proposal conceiving, in Adorno's words, art as the main torch of remaining resistance, and the last notion for the truth, in a time of incomprehensible suffering and terror. Thus, reflection focuses on discerning the philosophical referentsand the constitutive values of Western culture, and how those have been a benchmark study on the future of humanity, especially considering that there are guidelines that make us think in a crisis or post-modern barbarism.
