Adorno's Gamble

Focusing on the philosophical contributions of Theodor W. Adorno, the book explores how his concerns about the vulnerability of reason and democracy were influenced by radical conservative thinkers from Weimar Germany. It offers a fresh perspective on Adorno's ideas, situating them within the historical context of early twentieth-century intellectual debates, and highlights the complexities of his thought in relation to the socio-political challenges of his time.
