Complex introductions to philosophy are as common as sand on the beach. The series "Philosophy for Beginners" takes a different approach. Drawing and text are equally important, making this short and highly entertaining introduction particularly easy to understand. Rich in anecdotal and biographical material, it familiarizes the reader with the life and thoughts of a philosopher. Small excursions explain the roots of his thinking. It particularly appeals to students, teachers, newcomers to study, philosophical novices, but even those familiar with the subject will find pleasure in the reading. Adorno is the most influential philosopher and sociologist of the post-war era. M. Horkheimer once wrote about him: "If the concept of genius is appropriate for anyone living today and being intellectually productive, it is for Theodor W. Adorno." Here, Adorno's philosophy is explained in a witty and comprehensible manner.
