Description

In 1947 Theodor Adorno, one of the seminal European philosophers of the postwar years, announced his return after exile in the United States to a devastated Europe by writing Philosophy of New Music. Intensely polemical from its first publication, every aspect of this work was met with extreme reactions, from stark dismissal to outrage. Even Schoenberg reviled it. Despite the controversy, Philosophy of New Music became highly regarded and widely read among musicians, scholars, and social philosophers.

Author Biography:

Theodor W. Adorno (1903-1969) was the leading figure of the Frankfurt school of critical theory and a significant postwar European philosopher. He authored more than twenty volumes, including Negative Dialectics (1982), Kierkegaard (Minnesota, 1989), Dialectic of Enlightenment (1975) with Max Horkheimer, and Aesthetic Theory (Minnesota, 1998). Robert Hullot-Kentor has taught at Harvard and Stanford universities and written widely on Adorno. He has translated various works of Adorno, including Aesthetic Theory, and is the author of Things beyond Resemblance: Collected Essays on Theodor W. Adorno.
