Description
Theodor W. Adorno's philosophical development was marked by an uneasy relationship with existentialism. He saw his critics as embodying the very solipsism and idealism he sought to critique. This study offers a detailed examination of Adorno's attacks on transcendental and existential phenomenology, shedding new light on his thought. Peter E. Gordon provides a nuanced analysis of Adorno's engagement with key thinkers, including Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Husserl. Through Gordon's expert scholarship, the reader gains a deeper understanding of Adorno's philosophical project and its ongoing relevance today. This book is a significant contribution to our understanding of Adorno's thought, offering a fresh perspective on his critiques of phenomenology and existentialism.
