Sommario/riassunto

German philosopher and social critic Theodor Adorno is regarded as one of the twentieth century's most influential thinkers. Forced out of Nazi Germany because of his Jewish heritage, Adorno lived in exile in the US for nearly fifteen years. Shannon Mariotti explores how this extended visit prompted a concern for and commitment to democracy that shaped his work.
