Two of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century, Hannah Arendt and Theodor W. Adorno (whose thoughts tried to deal with the most extreme horror of that century, Auschwitz) refused to communicate or even to take into consideration each other’s works. This article attempts to bring them into dialogue from the point of view of what constituted the core of their work: thinking against the barbarity of the extermination camps - thinking and acting so that such barbarity is not repeated. After presenting the form in which both philosophers think the singularity of the genocide and the links with the historical and social processes that made it possible, the article tries to analyze their underlying differences, which have to do with two irreconcilable theoretical approaches.

Dos de los pensadores más importantes del siglo XX, Hannah Arendt y Theodor W. Adorno, cuyo pensamiento pretendió medirse con el horror más extremo que conoció dicho siglo –Auschwitz–, se negaron a comunicarse y a considerar la obra del otro. Este artículo intenta ponerlos en diálogo a partir de lo que constituyó el núcleo de su obra: pensar frente a la barbarie de los campos de exterminio - pensar y actuar para que esa barbarie no se repita. Tras presentar la forma en que ambos piensan la singularidad del genocidio y los vínculos con los procesos históricos y sociales que lo hicieron posible, trata de analizar las diferencias de fondo, aquéllas que tienen que ver con dos enfoques teóricos irreconciliables
