This thesis proposes a philosophical interpretation of musical improvisation, particularly jazz improvisation, through the Negative Dialectic as it was conceived by Theodor W. Adorno. The main hypothesis developed in this work is that it is possible to think philosophically about improvisation through a philosopher who touched on the subject but did not develop it. We want to show that one way to continue to think from Adorno is to engage with his demand for openness to objects outside the corpus he treated himself. Our engagement with the Negative Dialectic is notably through its capacity to push objects to extremes, pointing at the same time towards their disintegration and towards their utopian character. As we will try to show throughout this work, the idea of looking at improvisation stems from an awareness of the social time that emerged at the end of the Second World War and the brief intuitions that Adorno had at the time concerning the re-emergence of this practice.The thesis consists of three parts in addition to a foreword. The first part is divided into two chapters. The first chapter consists of an exposition of our interpretation of the Negative Dialectic, insisting on its double opening: both to objects and to incompleteness. The next chapter proposes a description of some aspects of improvisation based on an exploration of Adornian notions such as the informal, the logic of disintegration, the model and the constellation. The second part is subdivided into three chapters in which we discuss the problematic of improvisation with regard to three key notions in Adorno's thought: time, form and freedom. For each chapter, the objective will be to discuss both the contributions and limitations of Adorno's thought concerning each of the notions for thinking about improvisation. Finally, for the last part of the thesis, we propose a reading of the history of jazz in the form of an Adorno inspired philosophy of history. We will try to show that improvisation can be considered as the motor that gives impetus to a process of immanent development of jazz that starts with a modernist and radical moment in 1945 with Charlie Parker, and stops at multiple dead ends around 1975. The Adornian philosophical approach helps us to show that this process was not simply a successive change of musical figures but was constituted as a constellation of these figures. Throughout this work, in addition to the Adornian corpus, we discuss the specific philosophical and musicological corpus of jazz and improvisation, as well as the writings of musicians, notably Steve Coleman and Steve Lacy
