5.0 out of 5 stars
long needed, April 23, 2009
This review is from: Negativity and Revolution: Adorno and Political Activism (Paperback)
Finally, a book to lend activism an orientation sensitive to Adorno's perspective. Activism is the unquestioned enterprise in contemporary society. This naivete, however, is the basis for many of the problems activists fight against. With this book, one can engage in activism without risking a dangerous naivete. The extremely lucid writing in this volume actually would make it a great entrance into Adorno's thought, especially its relation to current trends in critical theory, which engages with serious objections. This book is the long awaited text to pass around to friends, especially those in activist circles ... an ideal accompaniment would be Raymond Geuss' Philosophy and Real Politics. No matter how familiar you are with Adorno's works, this text has a great deal to offer.
