By means of the analysis of two Theodor Adomo's texts temporally very distant from each other – one written in the beginning of his career, the other in his maturity –, this article shows that the essay was for him not merely a theme of reflection, but also and upmost a kind of matrix for his thought. Within this matrix, through resort to a tradition, begun, in the Modernity, with Montaigne and solidified with Leibniz and the English empiricists, Adorno seeks to build, in the last phase of his philosophy, his conception of an "Anti-system", in which the indispensable coherence of thought can be kept safe from instrumentalization by the domination system.
