Description: "This collection of essays is a testament to Adorno's profound influence in areas such as politics, language, cultural studies, and ethics. The contributors share the conviction, however, that there are facets of Adorno's work that have been hitherto neglected in the English-speaking scholarly world. Adorno and the Need in Thinking addresses these overlooked nuances, whether they apply to questions of politics, language, metaphysics, aesthetics, ecology, or to the intersections of several of these disciplines at once. Also included for the first time in English is one of Adorno's important early essays, 'Theses on the Language of the Philosopher.'"--BOOK JACKET.
