This essay attempts to explore the structural role of "anti-tautology" in T. W. Adorno's form conception through examining his transformation of Hegelian form-content relation. First, I analyse how Hegel's logic bears on Adorno's self-reflective critique. Adorno assimilates Hegel's "movement against immediacy" as his critical method. This movement caracterises their logical structures, and it enabled Hegel to elabo-late the form-content relation. However, Hegel's formulation could never be sufficient for Adorno. I secondly thematize in which point the latter's formulation of form differs from that of the former. As S. Zizek points out, Hegel determines form retroactively by "tautological gesture", so that every form is always-already mediated in the content. On the contrary, Adorno anticipates not-yet mediated anti-tautological form which will in turn mediate the past form-content relation. But significantly, he is well aware that the purest form (that only the avant-garde artworks may suggest) cannot be immediate but are always-already part of mediated content in our consciousness. This desperate aspiration for pure (void) form is supposed to urge the logic of creation of artists, Adorno himself, and our thinking.
