Description: Understanding Adorno, Understanding Modernism by Professor Robin Truth Goodman "Explores and illuminates Adornos profound impact on our understanding of literary modernism"-- FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Having studied philosophy at a time when its traditions were being seriously uprooted by the atrocities of World War II, Theodor Adorno had an enormous impact on thinking about aesthetics at a transitional historical moment when the philosophy of science and leftist politics were looking for new ground. Moreover, with his focus on the rise of commercial culture and its effects on identity-construction, Adorno can be said to have reinvigorated modernist concerns by introducing the prevailing terms in our contemporary versions of cultural politics and cultural studies.Understanding Adorno, Understanding Modernism traces Adornos social and aesthetic ideas as they appear and reappear in his corpus. As per other volumes in the series, this book is divided into three parts. The first, "Adornos Keywords," is organized by the aesthetic terms around which Adornos philosophy circulates. The second section is devoted to "Adorno and Aesthetics." While Adornos philosophical viewpoints influenced modernisms evolution into the 21st century, the history of modernist aesthetics also shaped his philosophical approaches. The third and final part, "Adornos Constellations," discusses how aesthetic form in Adornos thinking underlies the terms of his social analysis.
