Adorno - not least amongst them, his supposed fatalism. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSebastian Truskolaski argues that Adorno's writings allow us to address what is arguably the central challenge of modern philosophy: how to picture a world beyond suffering and injustice without, at the same time, betraying its vital impulse. By re-appraising Adorno's writings on politics, philosophy, and art, this book reconstructs this notoriously difficult author's overall project from a radically new perspective (Adorno's famous 'standpoint of redemption'), and brings his central concerns to bear on the problems of today.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOn the one hand, this means reading Adorno alongside his principal interlocutors (including Kant, Marx and Benjamin). On the other hand, it means asking how his secular brand of social criticism can serve to safeguard the image of a better world - above all, when the invocation of this image occurs alongside Adorno's recurrent reference to the Old Testament ban on making images of God.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBy reading Adorno in this iconoclastic way, \u003ci\u003eAdorno and the Ban on Images\u003c\/i\u003e contributes to current debates about Utopia that have come to define political visions across the political spectrum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sebastian Truskolaski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350129208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350129207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Sebastian Truskolaski","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44126691983615,"sku":"9781350129207","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_78630d41-41a6-4ba1-ba8d-acbf3aea9464.jpg?v=1687449617","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/adorno-and-the-ban-on-sebastian-truskolaski-9781350129207","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
