Summary

Adorno is often celebrated as among the most important cultural-theorists. This volume argues that his theoretical perspectives were deeply flawed.

In The Hotel Abyss: An Hegelian-marxist Critique Of Adorno Summary

In The Hotel Abyss: An Hegelian-marxist Critique Of Adorno: Studies in Critical Social Sciences, Volume 60 by Robert Lanning

Theodor W. Adorno was a German sociologist, philosopher and musicologist known for his critical theory of society. In the Hotel Abyss is a critical analysis of a selection of Adorno's work framed by four essential concerns: Adorno's method of analysis; the absence of a theory of social change; the relationship of his approach to the dialectics of Hegel and Marx; and Adorno's use of his approach with respect to jazz, popular music, radio and pro-fascist propaganda of the 1930s and '40s as an instrument to disparage the working class.

An invigorating and provocative read. Sean Ledwith, Marx and Philosophy Review of Books
