"...a major work of enormous penetration and insight. Susan Buck-Morss has managed the difficult task of lucidly presenting the thought of one of this century's most demanding intellectuals without ever diminishing its subtlety or complexity. By painstakingly tracing the sources and development of Adorno's variant of Critical Theory, she has offered a powerful challenge to the conventional understanding of its significance. Her careful and judicious use of previously unavailable materials, including documents illuminating Adorno's personal history, assures her work pride of place within the growing body of literature on the Frankfurt School." (Martin Jay)
