Description

This volume collects Theodor W. Adorno's influential public lectures delivered between 1949 and 1968, capturing his incisive analysis of postwar social, cultural and political developments. After returning from exile in the United States, Adorno established himself as a leading public intellectual at the University of Frankfurt, and these lectures represent his most engaged and accessible thinking on contemporary issues. Adorno's improvisational speaking style brings theoretical rigour to urgent questions of the era, making complex social theory accessible to general audiences. The collection demonstrates how Adorno's work shaped postwar intellectual debate and remains essential reading for understanding mid-twentieth-century critical theory and political thought. Ideal for students of philosophy, political science and social theory seeking direct access to Adorno's most influential ideas on society and politics.

Key Features

Adorno's lectures span 1949 to 1968, documenting his evolving analysis of postwar European society and political transformation.

This second volume focuses specifically on social theory and politics, complementing the broader intellectual scope of Adorno's complete lecture series.

The collection preserves Adorno's improvisational speaking style, offering more direct and engaging access to his ideas than formal published essays.

Published by Polity, a leading academic press specialising in critical theory and social science texts.

Essential primary source material for students and scholars of critical theory, Frankfurt School philosophy and twentieth-century political thought.
