"Philosopher, social theorist, musicologist and critic, Adorno is
now accepted as one of our century's most brilliant radical
thinkers. The great virtue of Brian O'Connor's lucidly presented
selection is to make clear the depth and consistency, as well as
the extraordinary range, of Adorno's work. The book will be of
value to newcomers and scholars alike." Michael Rosen, Lincoln
College, University of Oxford
"Invaluable. Brian O'Connor has put together the ideal Adorno
reader, containing not only Adorno's finest essays, but precisely
the pieces that are necessary for teaching Adorno. Because of its
range, this volume will suit students of literature and social
theory as well as philosophy." Jay M. Bernstein, Vanderbilt
University
"This collection of Adorno's most significant essays, along with the excerpts from his major philosophical texts, provides a much needed single resource for guiding students through the critical force of Adorno's thinking. O'Connor's introduction gives a compact overview of the history of Adorno's writings as well as a lucid...exposition of Adorno's concept of experience." Colin Hearfield, University of New England
