Minima Moralia: Reflections from Damaged Life

Description

Written between 1944 and 1947, Minima Moralia is a collection of rich, lucid aphorisms and essays about life in modern capitalist society. Adorno casts his penetrating eye across society in mid-century America and finds a life deformed by capitalism. This is Adorno's theoretical and literary masterpiece and a classic of twentieth-century thought.

Theodor Adorno was Director of the Institute for Social Research at the University of Frankfurt from 1959 until his death in 1969.

A volume of Adorno is equivalent to a whole shelf of books on literature. -- Susan Sontag The best thoughts of a noble and invigorating mind. * Observer * Theodor Adorno's masterpiece of aphorisms and short prose meditations * Time Literary Supplement *
