Theodor W. Adorno's Philosophy, Society, and Aesthetics

The exploration of Theodor W. Adorno's critical theory is presented through a structured analysis of his key themes. The book begins with an introduction to Adorno's life and intellectual journey, followed by three main sections. The first focuses on his theoretical philosophy, clarifying concepts like negative dialectics. The second examines his social theory, addressing domination, Marxism, and mass manipulation. Finally, the third part delves into aesthetics and cultural criticism, culminating in a comparison between Adorno's and Habermas's critiques of modernity.
