«Ästhetische Theorie» is Theodor W. Adorno's essay on aesthetics and philosophy, published by Suhrkamp in paperback (544 pages, in German).
Adorno examines modern art as a social phenomenon without reducing it to a document: he thinks of the work as something that becomes autonomous while at the same time participating in culture. He analyzes the relationship between art, society and culture, the objectivity of the work and the role of aesthetic experience in the contemporary world.
This 2003 edition belongs to volume 7 of the Gesammelte Schriften by Theodor W. Adorno (Suhrkamp-Taschenbuch Wissenschaft 1707).
Intended for university studies and for readers of philosophy, aesthetics and sociology.
Theodor W. Adorno was a German philosopher, cultural, and music critic. He was a leading member of the Frankfurt School of critical theory, whose work has come to be associated with thinkers such as Ernst Bloch, Walter Benjamin, Max Horkheimer, Erich Fromm, and Herbert Marcuse, for whom the works of Sigmund Freud, Karl Marx, and G. W. F. Hegel were essential to a critique of modern society. As a critic of both fascism and what he called the culture industry, his writings—such as Dialectic of Enlightenment (1947), Minima Moralia (1951), and Negative Dialectics (1966)—strongly influenced the European New Left.
