Walter Benjamin and Theodor W. Adorno are considered today to be
the two most significant early theorists in founding critical
theory. In their works and correspondence, both thinkers turn to
art and the aesthetic as a vital way for understanding modern
society and developing philosophical methods. This volume of
original essays seeks to understand how they influenced each other
and disagreed with each other on fundamental questions about art
and the aesthetic. The books deals with a variety of key
philosophical questions, such as: *How does art involve distinctive
modes of experience? *What is the political significance of modern
art? *What does aesthetic experience teach us about the limitations
of conceptual thought? *How is aesthetic experience implicated in
the very medium of thought, language? Ultimately the book presents
a systematic argument for the foundational significance of the
aesthetic in the development of the early critical theory movement.
