Theodor W. Adorno was a renowned German philosopher, musicologist, and social theorist associated with the Frankfurt School of critical theory. He is best known for his works such as Dialectic of Enlightenment and Minima Moralia, in which he examined modern society through the perspectives of Freud, Marx, and Hegel. Adorno’s expertise in avant-garde music, collaboration with Thomas Mann, and research on authoritarianism and propaganda conducted at the Institute for Social Research were significant contributions. He also participated in discussions on positivist science and Heidegger’s authenticity, while his Aesthetic Theory offered a fresh assessment of the relationship between emotion and comprehension in contemporary art.
