{"product_id":"aesthetic-theory-9780485300697","title":"Aesthetic Theory","description":"Theodor Adorno (1903-69) was undoubtedly the foremost thinker of the Frankfurt School, the influential group of German thinkers that fled to the US in the 1930s, including such thinkers as Herbert Marcuse and Max Horkheimer. His work has proved enormously influential in sociology, philosophy and cultural theory. Aesthetic Theory is Adorno's posthumous magnum opus and the culmination of a lifetime's investigation. Analysing the sublime, the ugly and the beautiful, Adorno shows how such concepts frame and distil human experience and that it is human experience that ultimately underlies aesthetics. In Adorno's formulation 'art is the sedimented history of human misery'. Edited by Gretel Adorno and Rolf Tiedeman Translated by Robert Hullot-Kentor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continuum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Continuum Impacts #43\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780485300697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRevised Edition\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Continuum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46761358459017,"sku":"9780485300697","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_194a7abf-0e8e-4b48-9844-a6ba322443ae.jpg?v=1779166727","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/aesthetic-theory-9780485300697","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
