Things Beyond Resemblance: Collected Essays on Theodor W. Adorno (Columbia Themes in Philosophy, Social Criticism, and the Arts) Book

"Just as Robert Hullot-Kentor's new translations of Adorno's main works are a stroke of good fortune for philosophical literature, in his Things Beyond Resemblance he presents completely new and altogether original aspects of Adorno's thought. Here, under the optic of the artist, Adorno's philosophy once again begins to breathe; indeed, the philosopher and philologist that Hullot-Kentor equally is, gives voice to Adorno's aesthetics and its own often artistic prose. This occurs most astoundingly, however, when the American author undertakes to comprehend the current political and social situation of his country in the concepts and theories of the German philosopher and thus demonstrates beyond any doubt Adorno's undiminished contemporary import." -- Rolf Tiedemann, director emeritus of the T.W.
