Adorno's aesthetics are one of the most important philosophical
analyses of the 20th century, but their development remains
unclear. Adorno, Aesthetics, Dissonance is the first book to
provide a detailed study of how Adorno's thinking of aesthetics
developed and to show the different dimensions that came together
to make it uniquely powerful. Principal among these dimensions are
his intense interest in music and his historical and materialist
approach. In addition, by studying how Adorno's aesthetics arose
through interactions with different thinkers, particularly
Kracauer, Horkheimer, and Schoenberg, it becomes clear that his
thought changes in its relation to dialectics. As a result,
Adorno's thinking comes to broaden the understanding of aesthetics
to include the sphere of sensuality, and in doing so transforms
both aesthetics and dialectics through a notion of dissonance,
which in turn has substantial implications for the relation of his
thinking to praxis.
