Theodor W. Adorno was one of the towering intellectuals of the twentieth century. His contributions cover such a myriad of fields, including the sociology of culture, social theory, the philosophy of music, ethics, art and aesthetics, film, ideology, the critique of modernity and musical composition, that it is difficult to assimilate the sheer range and profundity of his achievement. This unprecedented collection, devised and assembled by one of Europe’s rising social theorists, distills the best from published assessments and responses to Adorno’s oeuvre.
