Adorno, Theodor W. Critical Models: Interventions and Catchwords (European Perspectives Series)
Columbia University Press 1999 0231076355 / 9780231076357 Paperback Near fine n/a Paperback
New. Near fine in publisher's slightly rubbed decorated wrappers. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.Adorno, a leading member of the Frankfurt school, often expressed himself in prose of daunting complexity. As he showed after his return to Germany following World War II, he was also capable of appealing to a wide public. He called for philosophy to be critical of society, claiming that it should constantly criticize authoritarian developments and especially feared bureaucrats who carried out orders in a cold, thoughtless way. The present volume collects a number of Adorno's informal writings, including articles on education, politics, and culture. Including wry, helpful antics explaining Adorno's references, it is a worthwhile addition to academic libraries.ADavid Gordon, Bowling Green State Univ., OH Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. ... An ably translated and meticulously documented collection of essays that offers a view of Adorno in his role as . . . public intellectual. . . . Adornos essays are truly urgent. His writing continues, as he once wrote, to protect us from the chatter of culture and the abracadabra of worldviews. -- The Nation... Contrary to the caricature of Adorno as an aloof mandarin unwilling to descend into the public sphere, these essays, elegantly translated and abundantly annotated by Henry Pickford, reveal the range and power of his contributions to the fragile German democracy he helped build after returning from exile. Without sacrificing his critical rigor, Adorno shows that even the most negative of dialectics can address practical problems and provide suggestive answers. -- Martin Jay University of California at Berkeley... Critical Models presents Adorno at his most philosophically stunningProgress and On Subject and Object are among his finest essaysand at his topical best. Even an Adorno radio talk can be critically chilling. This volume is the ideal entry into the expanse of Adornos thought. -- Jay Bernstein Vanderbilt University... Excellent and timely. . . . These analyses of ideology and public opinion focus on what resists thinking and meaning, and on what interrupts ones everyday sense of how society functions. -- It is great news that this superb collection of Adornos polemical, political, and thoroughly contemporary interventionson television, teaching, nationalism, his years as an exiled scholar in the United States and much moreis finally available in a rigorous, very readable, and in every way exemplary translation. -- Thomas Levin Princeton University... One purpose in publishing Critical Models is to introduce a more accessible Adorno to the public. . . . In an age of cynicism and practicality, he is more essential than ever. -- One purpose in publishing Critical Models is to introduce a more accessible Adorno to the public. . . . In an age of cynicism and practicality, he is more essential than ever. -- Los Angeles Times Book Review
