Product Information
Theodor W. Adorno (1903-1969) was one of the twentieth century's most important thinkers. In light of two pivotal developments-the rise of fascism, which culminated in the Holocaust, and the standardization of popular culture as a commodity indispensable to contemporary capitalism-Adorno sought to evaluate and synthesize the essential insights of Western philosophy by revisiting the ethical and sociological arguments of his predecessors: Kant, Nietzsche, Hegel, and Marx. This book, first published in Germany in 1996, provides a succinct introduction to Adorno's challenging and far-reaching thought. Gerhard Schweppenhäuser, a leading authority on the Frankfurt School of critical theory, explains Adorno's epistemology, social and political philosophy, aesthetics, and theory of culture. After providing a brief overview of Adorno's life, Schweppenhäuser turns to the theorist's core philosophical concepts, including post-Kantian critique, determinate negation, and the primacy of the object, as well as his view of the Enlightenment as a code for world domination, his diagnosis of modern mass culture as a program of social control, and his understanding of modernist aesthetics as a challenge to conceive an alternative politics. Along the way, Schweppenhäuser illuminates the works widely considered Adorno's most important achievements: Minima Moralia , Dialectic of Enlightenment (co-authored with Horkheimer), and Negative Dialectics . Adorno wrote much of the first two of these during his years in California (1938-49), where he lived near Arnold Schoenberg and Thomas Mann, whom he assisted with the musical aesthetics at the center of Mann's novel Doctor Faustus .

Reviews
"[Schweppenhäuser's] book (now expanded and available in English in James Rolleston's brisk and lucid translation) provides a concise but astonishingly thorough overview of the main elements of Adorno's thought, while simultaneously highlighting both Adorno's importance as a thinker and his continued relevance for today." - Erica Weitzman, German Quarterly, "[I]t is fair to say that appreciating the brilliance and fecundity of Adorno's thought remains a difficult challenge. . . . [G]iven the difficulties that are bound to be experienced, any reader new to him is likely to be eternally grateful for the existence of Gerard Schweppenhuser's introductory volume. . . . Schweppenhuser's text is never less than eminently read - able and often deeply insightful and it serves to remind us how, in an age dominated by consumerism, this great thinker's ideas remain deeply relevant." - Peter Sedgwick, Times Higher Education Supplement, "Schweppenhäuser is intimately familiar with the complexity of Adorno's thought, but he is able to truly translate and introduce these ideas in a remarkably clear, engaging, jargon-free, and highly readable language." - Shannon Mariotti, Review of Politics, "The book's general clarity, breadth and depth of understanding make it a valuable, informative and advanced introduction to one of the more complex thinkers of the twentieth century." - Paul Mazzocchi, Political Studies Review, "This superb introduction to Adorno's complex and difficult work is full of extraordinary insights, which will benefit the old hands as well as the beginners."--Fredric Jameson, Duke University"This is a clear and concise overview of Theodor W. Adorno's philosophical, political, sociological, and aesthetic thought, written by a brilliant German theorist. Gerhard Schweppenhuser covers all the central topics in Adorno's writing, shows a firm grasp not only of his work but also of the secondary literature on it, and relates his thought to the more recent theoretical literature that has challenged it."--George Steinmetz, University of Michigan"Theodor W. Adorno: An Introduction is a useful survey of Adorno's thought. It is concise, written in plain language, and focused on the most important topics and themes of the theorist's work. Gerhard Schweppenhuser gives essential background about the intellectual and historical context of Adorno's thought and writings, and he makes a convincing case for the internal coherence of a complex and at times apparently heterogeneous body of work."--Uwe Steiner, Rice University"Schweppenhuser's text is never less than eminently readable and often deeply insightful and it serves to remind us how, in an age dominated by consumerism, this great thinker's ideas remain deeply relevant." - Times Higher Education, “This superb introduction to Adorno’s complex and difficult work is full of extraordinary insights, which will benefit the old hands as well as the beginners.â€�- Fredric Jameson , Duke University, "Schweppenhuser is intimately familiar with the complexity of Adorno's thought, but he is able to truly translate and introduce these ideas in a remarkably clear, engaging, jargon-free, and highly readable language." - Shannon Mariotti, Review of Politics, "In this work, Schweppenhuser, through his lucid representation of Adorno's often esoteric prose, which is augmented by James Rolleston's exemplary translation, and his erudite comparison with similar theorists, presents us with an examination of Adorno that remains faithful to the theorist's own commitment to an interdisciplinary and contextually aware approach to philosophy." - Steven Leddin, International Journal of Philosophical Studies, "This is a clear and concise overview of Theodor W.
