The extraordinary range of his work is matched by the distinctiveness of his central intellectual preoccupations. \u003cp\u003eThis new introduction offers a comprehensive and accessible account of Adorno's work. Jarvis discusses the intellectual and institutional contexts for Adorno's thought and, in a broad-ranging study, examines his contributions to social theory, cultural theory, aesthetics and philosophy. He shows how a re-examination of Adorno's work from the perspective of classical German philosophy allows us to see him from a new and illuminating angle, and ultimately to achieve a fuller understanding of all his thought.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn a clear and detailed account, Jarvis demonstrates the enduring coherence and explanatory power of Adorno's work and illustrates its continuing relevance to contemporary debates.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book will be welcomed by students and researchers in a wide range of disciplines, including sociology, philosophy, literary theory and cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimon Jarvis\u003c\/b\u003e is the Gorley Putt Professor of Poetry and Poetics at Cambridge University.
