Zusatztext Adorno and Marx: Negative Dialectics and the Critique of Political Economy is an insightful collection of essays that adds to a growing body of Marxist scholarship correcting widespread misconceptions about both Marx’s critique of political economy and the Frankfurt School tradition of critical theory. Informationen zum Autor Werner Bonefeld teaches in the Department of Politics at the University of York, UK. Before coming to York he taught at the Universities of Frankfurt and Edinburgh. He has conducted post-graduate seminars on critical theory at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, the Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla, adn at Universidad de Buenos Aires (2008). His work contributed to the development of the internationally recognised Open Marxism school. Chris O’Kane is Assistant Professor of Political Science at University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, USA. Klappentext While Adorno has tended to be read as a critic of the administered world and the consumer industry rather than a Marxist, Adorno and Marx e stablishes Adorno's negative dialectics as fundamental for understanding Marx's critique of political economy. This conception of the critique of political economy as a critical theory marks both a radical departure from traditional Marxist scholarship and from traditional readings of Adorno's work and warns against identifying Adorno with Marx or Marx with Adorno. Rather, it highlights the intersection between Adorno's critical theory and Marx's critique of political economy that produces a critical theory of economic objectivity that moves beyond Marxian economics and Adornonian social theory. Adorno and Marx offers an ingenious account of critical social theory. Its subversion of the economic categories of political economy contributes to the cutting-edge of contemporary social theory and its critique of social practice. Vorwort The first book to expound Adorno’s negative dialectic as critical to the contemporary development of Marx’s critique of political economy.
