Theodor W. Adorno. »Minima Moralia« neu gelesen

Like hardly any other book, The Minima Moralia by Theodor W. Adorno, written in exile in California from 1944 to 1947, has shaped the intellectual landscape of the young Federal Republic. Fifty years after its first publication, thirty authors—including Robert Gernhardt, Elisabeth Lenk, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Jürgen Habermas, Joachim Kaiser, Gerhard Neumann, Joseph Vogl, and the editors—have each selected one of the 153 pieces and provided an individual commentary. Despite the diversity of these texts, they demonstrate two things: the enduring relevance of Adorno's already anachronistic approach to philosophy as a "teaching on the right way of life," and that there is no correct way to read, only incorrect interpretations.
