Having studied philosophy at a time when its traditions were being
seriously uprooted by the atrocities of World War II, Theodor
Adorno had an enormous impact on thinking about aesthetics at a
transitional historical moment when the philosophy of science and
leftist politics were looking for new ground. Moreover, with his
focus on the rise of commercial culture and its effects on
identity-construction, Adorno can be said to have reinvigorated
modernist concerns by introducing the prevailing terms in our
contemporary versions of cultural politics and cultural studies.
Understanding Adorno, Understanding Modernism traces Adorno’s
social and aesthetic ideas as they appear and reappear in his
corpus. As per other volumes in the series, this book is divided
into three parts. The first, “Adorno’s Keywords,” is
organized by the aesthetic terms around which Adorno’s philosophy
circulates. The second section is devoted to “Adorno and
Aesthetics.” While Adorno’s philosophical viewpoints influenced
modernism’s evolution into the 21st century, the history of
modernist aesthetics also shaped his philosophical approaches. The
third and final part, “Adorno’s Constellations,” discusses
how aesthetic form in Adorno’s thinking underlies the terms of
his social analysis.
