RÉSUMÉ

The issues Theodor Adorno explored in his work are as pressing today as in the past and his arguments continue to affect disciplines as diverse as philosophy, sociology, psychology, cultural studies, musicology, and literary theory. Even as Adorno contests many of the premises of the philosophical tradition, he reinvigorates that tradition with his concerted attempt to stem catastrophic tendencies in the West. Expert contributors make Adorno accessible to a new generation of readers without simplifying his thought, providing readers with the key concepts needed to decipher Adorno's often daunting books and essays and showing the way through the labyrinth of his work.

Contribuors include Deborah Cook, Ståle Finke, Fabian Freyenhagen, Espen Hammer, Pauline Johnson, Brian O'Connor, Alison Stone, Marianne Tettlebaum, Ross Wilson, and Robert W. Witkin.
