Aesthetic Theory (International Library of Phenomenology and Moral Sciences) 1970
- Aesthetics, Esthétique, Ästhetik, Esthetica
The culmination of a lifetime of aesthetic investigation, Aesthetic Theory is Adorno's major work, a defense of modernism that is paradoxical in its defense of illusion. In it, Adorno takes up the problem of art in a day when "it goes without saying that nothing concerning art goes without saying."
