The Semblance of Subjectivity

Theodor W. Adorno died in 1969 and his last major work, Ästhetische Theorie , was published posthumously a year later. Few philosophers have been as well versed in contemporary art, especially music, as Adorno, and even fewer have written so much that is of interest to the social sciences. Yet only recently have his aesthetic writings begun to receive sustained attention in the English-speaking world.
