Reviews
"At each step, Allen is careful to attend not only to the formal qualities of the works in question, but also to what might be called the "experience" of the work, in all senses of the word." -- Philosophy Today "Sustained by an uncommon critical poise and a circumspect conceptual sobriety that allows for both nuance and vigor, Allen excavates the ways in which Adorno's innovative mobilizations of the post-Hegelian dialectic cannot be separated from his rethinking of aesthetics. Allen's new book constitutes a thoughtful contribution to our ongoing reassessment of the specifically aesthetic dimension of Adorno's philosophical project." -- Gerhard Richter, Professor of German Studies and Comparative Literature, Brown University, USA and author of Thinking with Adorno: The Uncoercive Gaze " Adorno, Aesthetics, Dissonance is certain to make a distinctive contribution to the most recent literature on Adorno. While many have traced the influences of Kant and Hegel on Adorno's aesthetics, this book definitively shows the equally deep marks made by Adorno's engagement with a host of contemporary composers and writers. Here we find an Adorno developing his thinking about art and society while embedded in the most advanced art of his time." -- Tom Huhn, Chair of BFA Visual & Critical Studies and Art History, School of Visual Arts, USA, tomhuhn.com, "Sustained by an uncommon critical poise and a circumspect conceptual sobriety that allows for both nuance and vigor, Allen excavates the ways in which Adorno's innovative mobilizations of the post-Hegelian dialectic cannot be separated from his rethinking of aesthetics.

Synopsis
Adorno's aesthetics are one of the most important philosophical analyses of the 20th century, but their development remains unclear. Adorno, Aesthetics, Dissonance is the first book to provide a detailed study of how Adorno's thinking of aesthetics developed and to show the different dimensions that came together to make it uniquely powerful. Principal among these dimensions are his intense interest inmusic and his historical and materialist approach. In addition, by studying how Adorno's aesthetics arose through interactions with different thinkers, particularly Kracauer, Horkheimer, and Schoenberg, it becomes clear that his thought changes in its relation to dialectics. As a result, Adorno's thinking comes to broaden the understanding of aesthetics to include the sphere of sensuality, and in doing sotransforms both aesthetics and dialectics through a notion of dissonance, which in turn has substantial implications for the relation of his thinking to praxis., Adorno's aesthetics are one of the most important philosophical analyses of the 20th century, but their development remains unclear.

    The seller was very responsive and answered me on a timely matter. The product itself came in its packaging and was new, not used at all. The packaging was not beat up or anything, safely delivered to my mailbox. No mix ups and zero stress with delivery. The price for the product is completely understandable for the product. I really appreciate the seller and I am very happy to have purchased through this seller. Completely trustable!

    Leaving positive feedback because 1) item was packed well & arrived as described 2) seller did give partial refund when subsequent price dropped below org purchase price. 3) communication was quick However, there was a downside to this transaction -item listed as in-stock but ended up waiting nearly a month for them to get it from their distributer then ship it to me (bought June 29th, arrived around July 21). Auction said 12-15 days. Better clarity would have prevented lot of frustration
