'Even the biographical individual is a social category', wrote Adorno. ‘It can only be defined in a living context together with others.’ In this major new biography, Stefan Muller-Doohm turns this maxim back on Adorno himself and provides a rich and comprehensive account of the life and work of one of the most brilliant minds of the twentieth century. This authoritative biography ranges across the whole of Adorno's life and career, from his childhood and student years to his years in emigration in the United States and his return to postwar Germany. At the same time, Muller-Doohm examines the full range of Adorno's writings on philosophy, sociology, literary theory, music theory and cultural criticism. Drawing on an array of sources from Adorno's personal correspondence with Horkheimer, Benjamin, Berg, Marcuse, Kracauer and Mann to interviews, notes and both published and unpublished writings, Muller-Doohm situates Adorno's contributions in the context of his times and provides a rich and balanced appraisal of his significance in the 20th Century as a whole. Muller-Doohm's clear prose succeeds in making accessible some of the most complex areas of Adorno's thought. This outstanding biography will be the standard work on Adorno for years to come.


Adorno and the Ends of Philosophy Adorno and the Ends of Philosophy

Автор: Andrew Bowie

Год издания: 

Theodor Adorno’s reputation as a cultural critic has been well-established for some time, but his status as a philosopher remains unclear. In Adorno and the Ends of Philosophy Andrew Bowie seeks to establish what Adorno can contribute to philosophy today. Adorno’s published texts are notably difficult and have tended to hinder his reception by a broad philosophical audience. His main influence as a philosopher when he was alive was, though, often based on his very lucid public lectures. Drawing on these lectures, both published and unpublished, Bowie argues that important recent interpretations of Hegel, and related developments in pragmatism, echo key ideas in Adorno’s thought. At the same time, Adorno’s insistence that philosophy should make the Holocaust central to the assessment of modern rationality suggests ways in which these approaches should be complemented by his preparedness to confront some of the most disturbing aspects of modern history. What emerges is a remarkably clear and engaging re-interpretation of Adorno’s thought, as well as an illuminating and original review of the state of contemporary philosophy. Adorno and the Ends of Philosophy will be indispensable to students of Adorno’s work at all levels. This compelling book is also set to ignite debate surrounding the reception of Adorno’s philosophy and bring him into the mainstream of philosophical debate at a time when the divisions between analytical and European philosophy are increasingly breaking down.

Adorno wohnt hier nicht mehr Adorno wohnt hier nicht mehr

Автор: Jochen Schimmang

Год издания: 

Vor 50 Jahren, im August 1969, starb Adorno – und Jochen Schimmang ubt sich in Abwesenheitsp?ege. In melancholischen bis heiteren, zum Teil autobiogra?sch gefarbten Geschichten erzahlt er von Formen und Figuren des Verschwindens. Von Menschen, Gebauden, ganzen Vierteln; von Techniken, Gesten, Sprechweisen. Ein Jubilar versteckt sich mit seiner Frau auf dem Dachboden vor seinen Freunden, die zum 70. Geburtstag aus allen Himmelsrichtungen auf ihn einsturmen, obwohl er viel lieber nur mit zweien von ihnen essen gegangen ware. Rothermund macht sich auf die Suche nach dem verschwundenen Maler Guthermuth. Ein Spaziergang durch Frankfurt zeigt, wer, au?er Adorno, noch alles nicht mehr dort wohnt. Aber Spaziergange sind ohnehin sterbende Institutionen, ein Sich-Verirren in der Welt kann zum Verwirren der Welt werden. Milieus, die sich nicht mehr erreichen, Nomaden in Monaden. Nur Gott ist nicht verschwunden, er taucht punktlich um halb sieben in der Kirche auf – im Fischgratmantel. Jochen Schimmangs feinsinnige Erzahlungen gehen auf Spurensuche nach Lucken und Verlusten und zeigen zugleich, dass «Identitat» eine hochst fragile Konstruktion ist.
