Theodor W. Adorno - Selected Works (12 books)

* Re-upload *

THEODOR W. ADORNO (1903-1969) was a German sociologist, philosopher and musicologist famous for his work in critical theory.

A leading member of the "Frankfurt School" of social research, his work was associated with thinkers such as Ernst Bloch, Walter Benjamin, Max Horkheimer and Herbert Marcuse, for whom the work of Freud, Marx and Hegel were essential to a critique of modern society. He is widely regarded as one of the 20th century's foremost thinkers on aesthetics and philosophy, as well as one of its preeminent essayists. As a critic of both fascism and what he called the culture industry, his writings -- such as DIALECTIC OF ENLIGHTENMENT (1947) and NEGATIVE DIALECTICS (1966) -- strongly influenced the European New Left.
