Identity thinking, one-dimensional language and negative dialectic. An educational reflection from H. Marcuse and Th. W. Adorno

The present essay intends to return to the epistemological proposal of the negative dialectic as a potential tool to help dismantle the false adaptation between subject-object that has characterized the thought of the identity of modern positivist sciences and the one-dimensional language of current societies. An example will be taken when analyzing the influence of the logic of identity and unidimensional language in textbooks of primary education in Mexico. This seeks to argue the need to reinstate the negativity of thought and the affirmation of non-indigence between concept-reality as a fundamental principle to recover the different and denied by the logic of subject-object identification in the construction of school knowledge.
