11th English edition. An acknowledged twentieth-century classic. A staggering variety of topics is covered, moving in each section from the most intimate personal experiences to thew most general theoretical problems. DARK HORSEY SAYS-"The most peculiarly representative of Adorn's works", said The Cambridge Review, & it's true- the essays are short- half a page to three or four pages & so concentrated that one does get a feel for the exact character of Adorno's mind, anxieties & certainties & habits. One of the few of his books that he finished (at all) & to his satisfaction. Says Habermas-"It was dnied [Adorno], in a clearly painful way, ever to be trivial"- & yet, you rread the stuff & sometimes you have to laugh, & it's laugh with him! |
