Official synopsis Publisher
This book offers a radically new interpretation of the work of Theodor Adorno. In contrast to the conventional view that Adorno’s is in essence a critical philosophy, Yvonne Sherratt systematically traces an utopian thesis that pervades all the major aspects of Adorno’s thought. She places Adorno’s work in the context of German Idealist and later Marxist and Freudian traditions, and then analyzes his key works to show how the aesthetic, epistemological, psychological, historical and sociological thought interconnect to form an utopian image.
