Description
"A volume of Adorno is equivalent to a whole shelf of books on literature." --Susan Sontag A reflection on everyday existence in the 'sphere of consumption of late Capitalism', this work is Adorno's literary and philosophical masterpiece. Built from aphorisms and reflections, he shifts in register from personal experience to the most general theoretical problems.
