Adorno epitomizes the failure of critical theory to provide any concrete guidance for political practice. His name is almost synonymous with the retreat of the progressive intellectual from the creeping totalitarianism of contemporary mass democracy. This book endeavors to disrupt this misconception by offering a close reading of Adorno\u2019s philosophical confrontation with the Holocaust and the modern conceptions of history, morality and subjectivity that are complicit in genocide. By rethinking the relationship between reason and remembrance, morality and materiality, mimesis and political violence, Adorno\u2019s work offers not only incisive criticism of modern political ideas and institutions, it also shows us intimations of a different political practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adorno on Politics after Auschwitz by Gary A.
