	Theodor Adorno [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Adorno is generally recognized within the Continental tradition of philosophy as being one of the foremost philosophers of the 20th.
		Adorno is accused of adopting the stance of an inveterate 'nay-sayer'.
		Adorno is consistently accused of failing to appreciate the moral gains achieved as a direct consequence of the formalization of reason and the subsequent demise of the authority of tradition.

	Theodor Adorno - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Theodor (or 'Teddie') was born in Frankfurt as an only child to the wine merchant Oscar Alexander Wiesengrund (1870-1941, of Jewish descent, converted to Protestantism) and the Catholic singer Maria Barbara, born Calvelli-Adorno.
		Adorno also argued that the authoritarian personality would, of course, use culture and its consumption to exert social control, but that such control is inherently degrading to those who are subjected to it, and instead such personalities would project their own fear of loss of control on to society as a whole.
		Adorno's theoretical method is closely related to his understanding of music and his friend Alban Berg use of twelve-tone techniques, which were aimed at dethroning the primacy of traditional tonality in composition.

		Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno was born in 1903, the son of an opera singer.
		Adorno's conscious attempt to write in a style that is difficult to consume or understand attests to his admiration of Schönberg as well, as he praised difficult works of both art and philosophy, maintaining that a struggle was necessary to achieve the true value of understanding.
		Adorno was attracted to avant-garde art and music by virtue of its ability to resist commercialization and deny the homogenizing effects of the culture industry.

	Theodor Adorno
		Adorno's central argument is that the culture industry involves a change in the commodity character of art, such that art's commodity character is deliberately acknowledged and art "abjures its autonomy" (DE 127).
		Adorno's is an ethics and metaphysics "after Auschwitz." Ethically, he says, Hitler's barbarism imposes a "new categorical imperative" on human beings in their condition of unfreedom: so to arrange their thought and action that "Auschwitz would not repeat itself, [that] nothing similar would happen" (ND 365).
		Adorno appeals to the experience that thought which "does not decapitate itself" flows into the idea of a world where "not only extant suffering would be abolished but also suffering that is irrevocably past would be revoked" (403).

	Harker, Adorno (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Adorno saw the political impotence of the Weimar Republic in the face of Hitler: 'Germany's position in the competition between imperialist powers was, in terms of the available raw materials and of her industrial potential, hopeless in peace and war'.
		Adorno 'seems to have naively hoped that the Nazis were a passing phenomena and he might still salvage his career',[34] and since 1928 he had put a lot of effort into cultivating an old acquaintance, Max Horkheimer, Director of the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research.
		Adorno claimed that 'as a matter of economic social fact' the 'crucial role in the struggle against increasing concentration of economic power will have to be played by the working-people',[109] but he made an explicit renunciation of any connection with working class parties, at a time when the German KPD was being banned.

		As a young man, Adorno studied composition with Alban Berg, and he remained a great defender of the New Music of the Second Viennese School, which he saw as the ‘authentic voice’ of 20th-century music.
		Adorno was the main contributor to The Authoritarian Personality (1950), a psychoanalytical and social research project stemming partly from Erich Fromm's ideas, in which the F-scale (F standing for fascism) was constructed.
		Adorno's Minima Moralia:; Reflections from a Damaged Life (1951) is a series of aphorisms in the style of Friedrich Nietzsche, many of which are concerned with the problems of exile.

	Illuminations: Bronner
		Adorno was as little engaged in formulating an "anti-epistemology," the official English translation of this work, as in denying the truths embodied in the "untruth" of idealism.
		Adorno may have opposed the neo-classicism of Stravinsky and Hindemith along with "new objectivity" (Neue Sachlichkeit) and its belief that the composer is a "musical engineer." Nevertheless, the problems with his own aesthetic derive precisely from an objectivism of a different sort.
		Adorno maintains his rejection of "false" immediacy, of enjoyment,"Mistrust is called for in face of all spontaneity, impetuosity, all letting oneself go, for it implies pliancy towards the superior might of the existent." (Theodor W. Adorno, Minima Moralia, pg.

		Adorno deemed it his philosophical task to get beneath these surfaces -- to discover material processes that would betray the seductive world of objects.
		According to Adorno, this was achievable by means of "negative dialectics," or thought through negations and displacements, as opposed to identifications and affirmations.
		Adorno consciously developed an interdisciplinary flexibility, as evidenced by the wide sweep of subjects that fell under his critical gaze.

		Adorno (1903-69) argued that capitalism fed people with the products of a 'culture industry' - the opposite of 'true' art - to keep them passively satisfied and politically apathetic.
		Adorno saw that capitalism had not become more precarious or close to collapse, as Marx had predicted.
		Adorno suggested that culture industries churn out a debased mass of unsophisticated, sentimental products which have replaced the more 'difficult' and critical art forms which might lead people to actually question social life.

		One of the earliest academic writers to consider the importance of popular music, T.W. Adorno refused to draw a distinction between high and popular cultures, describing them as ‘torn halves of an integral freedom, to which however they do not add up’.
		Writing from the nineteen-forties through to the seventies, he was a member of the Frankfurt School of Marxist analysis, and with Gramsci, Althusser, Benjamin, Lukacs, Bloch and others, he is often referred to as a Western Marxist.
		The clarity and cutting edge of Adorno’s criticism is still widely respected today, despite the narrowness of his vision and the fact that some of his ideas are tied closely to the historical situation he was living and writing in.
