Adorno's Positive Dialectic

Yvonne Sherratt presents a groundbreaking interpretation of Theodor Adorno's philosophy, challenging the conventional view of his work as merely critical. By situating Adorno within German Idealist, Marxist, and Freudian frameworks, she reveals a pervasive utopian thesis that influences his aesthetic, epistemological, psychological, historical, and sociological ideas. This comprehensive analysis connects various aspects of Adorno's thought, making the book a valuable resource for students and specialists in philosophy, social theory, intellectual history, literary theory, and cultural studies.
