Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book gives us our first clear look at how the man and his moment met to create "critical theory." An intimate picture of the quintessential twentieth-century transatlantic intellectual, the book is also a window on the cultural ferment of Adorno's day-and its ongoing importance in our own. |
