Abstract: Adorno’s negative dialectics and non-identity philosophy radically criticized the rationalist philosophy tradition and the identity philosophy represented by Hegel and became the pioneer of post-modern thoughts whose main theoretical purport is anti-identity, and had a hidden connection with Lacan’s psychoanalysis. Based on Zizek’s interpretation of internal relations between Adorno and Lacanian psychoanalysis, this paper argues that Adorno is not only an important pioneer of post-modern thoughts, but also a pioneer of Lacanianism, thus also the pioneer of post-Marxism deeply influenced by post-modernism and psychoanalysis.

Key words: Adorno, Negative Dialectics, post-Marxism, psychoanalysis
