Summary
The purely philosophical concerns of Theodor W.

Critics Review
“Brian O’Connor has crafted a timely and robust contribution to the ongoing reception of Adorno’s work. He provides a much needed and exceedingly lucid treatment of Adorno’s central concerns with the nature of the object of experience and the shape of subjectivity, with specific reference to the achievements of Kant and Hegel, around and within which Adorno situated his own project.”–Tom Huhn, School of Visual Arts, New York “Brian O’Connor has produced an elegant and persuasive defense of the epistemological core of Adorno’s philosophy: the priority of the object for the possibility of experience. His analysis of Adorno’s transcendental strategy is novel and challenging. An invaluable contribution to Adorno studies.”–J.M. Bernstein, New School for Social Research
