* Adorno is one of the most important philosophers and social thinkers of the 20th Century. He was the leading figure in the Frankfurt School, along with Walter Benjamin and Max Horkheimer. * This book is the next volume in the series of his unpublished lectures, now made available in English for the first time by Polity.
This volume comprises one of the key lecture courses leading up to the publication in 1966 of Adorno's major work, Negative Dialectics. These lectures focus on developing the concepts critical to the introductory section of that book. They show Adorno as an embattled philosopher defining his own methodology among the prevailing trends of the time.

"The best introduction to Adorno's thought is Adorno's lectures: patient and expansive, they provide the darkest corners of his thought with light and air. Aiming to elaborate the basic assumptions and working method behind his philosophical practice in general, these lapidary lectures touch on many of the most difficult aspects of Adorno's philosophy." J. M. Bernstein, New School for Social Research  Be the first to write a customer review
