Adorno Minima Moralia

For the first time in Russian, the book of the outstanding German thinker of the 20th century Theodor Adorno (1903–1969) is being published, written during his emigration in World War II and in the early years after its end. Titled by analogy with Aristotle’s “Great Ethics” (“Magna moralia”), this book is not a systematic philosophical work, but a collection of sharply critical fragments, both in content and form, reflecting Adorno's bleak view of the late capitalist society in which human experience is shattered, disintegrated, and loses all bearings.
