His work has proved enormously influential in sociology, philosophy and cultural theory. Aesthetic Theory is Adorno’s posthumous magnum opus and the culmination of a lifetime’s investigation. Analysing the sublime, the ugly and the beautiful, Adorno shows how such concepts frame and distil human experience and that it is human experience that ultimately underlies aesthetics. In Adorno’s formulation ‘art is the sedimented history of human misery’. Edited by Gretel Adorno and Rolf Tiedeman Translated by Robert Hullot-Kentor.”,”bookEdition”:”New edition”,”url”:”https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0485300699/”,”bookFormat”:”http://schema.org/EBook”,”additionalType”:”http://schema.org/PDF”,”fileSize”:”99 MB”,”accessibilityFeature”:[“login required”,”member access only”],”accessibilitySummary”:”PDF version available to authenticated members only.
