A strikingly original reconstruction and defense of Theodor W. Adorno's account of truth. -- Fabian Freyenhagen, author of Adorno's Practical Philosophy: Living Less Wrongly Diligent, precise, honest, and rigorous-a superb piece of philosophical scholarship that brings the sophistication of Adorno studies to a new level. -- Brian O'Connor, University College Dublin There is no other book that more lucidly and compellingly reconstructs the difficult relationship between epistemology and aesthetics in Adorno's work. Although Adorno vigorously dismissed systematicity, the many connections that unite his central concerns are here made manifest in ways that are likely to move the debate over his legacy substantively forward. For anyone interested in the status and fate of art in modernity, this book will be a landmark. -- Espen Hammer, author of Adorno's Modernism: Art, Experience, and Catastrophe
