Even the biographical individual is a social category , wrote Adorno. It can only be defined in a living context together with others. In this major new biography, Stefan Muller-Doohm turns this maxim back on Adorno himself and provides a rich and comprehensive account of the life and work of one of the most brilliant minds of the twentieth century.
This authoritative biography ranges across the whole of Adorno s life and career, from his childhood and student years to his years in emigration in the United States and his return to postwar Germany. At the same time, Muller-Doohm examines the full range of Adorno s writings on philosophy, sociology, literary theory, music theory and cultural criticism. Drawing on an array of sources from Adorno s personal correspondence with Horkheimer, Benjamin, Berg, Marcuse, Kracauer and Mann to interviews, notes and both published and unpublished writings, Muller-Doohm situates Adorno s contributions in the context of his times and provides a rich and balanced appraisal of his significance in the 20th Century as a whole.
Muller-Doohm s clear prose succeeds in making accessible some of the most complex areas of Adorno s thought. This outstanding biography will be the standard work on Adorno for years to come.
