Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Two volumes by Theodor W. Adorno are combined in this volume: "Interventions - Nine Critical Models" (1963) and "Catchwords: Critical Model II" (1969). Both books are examples of Adorno's postwar commitment to unmasking the culture that engendered Nazism.

Críticas

One purpose in publishing "Critical Models" is to introduce a more accessible Adorno to the public. . . . In an age of cynicism and practicality, he is more essential than ever. "An ably translated and meticulously documented collection of essays that offers a view of Adorno in his role as... public intellectual.... Adorno's essays are truly urgent." -- "The Nation" "Excellent and timely.... These analyses of ideology and public opinion focus on what resists thinking and meaning, and on what interrupts one's everyday sense of how society functions." -- "Choice" "One purpose in publishing "Critical Models" is to introduce a more accessible Adorno to the public.... In an age of cynicism and practicality, he is more essential than ever." -- "Los Angeles Times Book Review"
