Product Description
Review
"Theodor Adorno was an inspiration to, and teacher of, some notably original thinkers of several generations and countries, but he is one of those academic writers whose work might be forgotten now that he is dead. 'Prisms, ' the fourth in The MIT Press's series of 'Studies in Contemporary German Social Thought, ' has 11 pieces on culture, writers, music and sociology, and a memoir of Walter Benjamin, Adorno's mentor.... This extraordinary book can make us smarter, more reflective and critical." - "The New York Times Book Review"
Synopsis
The eminent critic and scholar analyzes a wide range of topics, including Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, jazz, the music of Bach, and museums.
