Kant is a pivotal thinker in Adorno's intellectual world. Although
he wrote monographs on Hegel, Husserl, and Kierkegaard, the closest
Adorno came to an extended discussion of Kant are two lecture
courses, one concentrating on the "Critique of Pure Reason" and the
other on the "Critique of Practical Reason." This new volume by
Adorno comprises his lectures on the former.
Adorno attempts to make Kant's thought comprehensible to students
by focusing on what he regards as problematic aspects of Kant's
philosophy. Adorno examines Kant's dualism and what he calls the
Kantian "block": the contradictions arising from Kant's resistance
to the idealism that his successors--Fichte, Schelling, and
Hegel--saw as the inevitable outcome of his ideas. These lectures
also provide an accessible introduction to and rationale for
Adorno's own philosophy as expounded in "Negative Dialectics" and
his other major writings. Adorno's view of Kant forms an integral
part of his own philosophy, since he argues that the way out of the
Kantian contradictions is to show the necessity of the dialectical
thinking that Kant himself spurned. This in turn enables Adorno to
criticize Anglo-Saxon scientistic or positivist thought, as well as
the philosophy of existentialism.
This book will be of great interest to those working in philosophy
and in social and political thought, and it will be essential
reading for anyone interested in the foundations of Adorno's own
work.
