Adorno and Endgame

Adorno's reflections in the opening section on the values of philosophical mediation appear to discredit any serious attempt at trying to reconcile Endgame and a philosophical approach. However, he then goes on to discuss how Hamm and Clov interact amidst the fact that 'the end of the world is discounted, as though it were a matter of course.' Adorno also admits that 'Existentialism itself is parodied', which is not extraordinary in itself but to say that we should put the philosophy behind us and then to talk about the philosophy seems an awful contradiction, or maybe an acknowledgement that it is one more element that contributes to drawing some kind of a coherent reading of Endgame. It would be interesting to discuss whether Existentialism (particularly Parisian existentialism) can be discounted entirely if Adorno himself even admits that there is a strain of it within Endgame, even if only for purposes of parody.
