{"product_id":"adornos-practical-philosophy-fabian-freyenhagen-9781107543027","title":"Adorno's Practical Philosophy: Living Less Wrongly","description":"Adorno notoriously asserted that there is no 'right' life in our current social world. This assertion has contributed to the widespread perception that his philosophy has no practical import or coherent ethics, and he is often accused of being too negative. Fabian Freyenhagen reconstructs and defends Adorno's practical philosophy in response to these charges. He argues that Adorno's deep pessimism about the contemporary social world is coupled with a strong optimism about human potential, and that this optimism explains his negative views about the social world, and his demand that we resist and change it. He shows that Adorno holds a substantive ethics, albeit one that is minimalist and based on a pluralist conception of the bad - a guide for living less wrongly. His incisive study does much to advance our understanding of Adorno, and is also an important intervention into current debates in moral philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fabian Freyenhagen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107543029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107543027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Fabian Freyenhagen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947754848511,"sku":"9781107543027","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d606aad4-9eb2-45e7-88cc-204303237550.jpg?v=1681520602","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/adornos-practical-philosophy-fabian-freyenhagen-9781107543027","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
