Pvod negativn dialektiky Theodor W. Adorno, Walter Benjamin a frankfurtsk Institut pro sociln vzkum Buck-Morssov Susan (2020)

American philosopher Susan Buck-Morss traces the formation of the theory of Theodor Adorno, a key representative of the first generation of the so-called Frankfurt School. She presents Adornos exceptionally complex ideas in an accessible way without stripping them of their subtlety or richness, giving particular attention to the development of his thought in dialogue with Walter Benjamin and other contemporaries. The book illuminates key elements of Adornos philosophy, including his concept of dialectics, his emphasis on the objectivity of truth, and the creative role of the subject in the process of acquiring knowledge. It reconstructs Adornos philosophical method and carefully clarifies the relationship between theory and practice, philosophy and art, and conceptual thought and visual representation. In the Czech context, it is an important contribution to a more adequate understanding and appreciation of critical theory. The contents are in Czech.
