While Theodor Adorno has continued to be influential since his
death in 1969, his very centrality has led to the left simplifying
his ideas while the right placed him at the center of a myriad of
wild conspiracy theories, all of them filed under the category of
Cultural Marxism. Adorno has wrongly been blamed for everything
from the Beatles to postmodernism, but he has continued to be read,
if read badly. Stuart Walton's introduction to Adorno attempts to
explain how this idiosyncratic thinker reframed elements of the
Hegelian-Marxist dialectical in the fields of philosophy,
sociology, politics and aesthetics and to rectify some of the major
misunderstandings about Adorno and the Frankfurt School. When
Walton began studying Adorno at Oxford in 1983 he felt that Adorno
was nowhere in the English-speaking world, but that he should be
everywhere. Now Adorno is everywhere, but hardly anywhere
sufficiently or deeply understood.
