Beskrivning
Throughout his work, the philosopher Theodor W. Adorno repeatedly invokes the rhinoceros. Taking its cue from one of these passages in Aesthetic Theory, ‘So a rhinoceros, the mute animal, seems to say: I am a rhinoceros’, this book explores the life of this animal in Adorno’s texts, and articulates the nuanced interconnections between art, nature and critique in his thought.By thus illuminating key elements of Adorno’s work, this volume reveals the invaluable contributions that this ‘classical’ thinker can make to our current reflections on the various pressing natural and political crises of our times.

Recensioner i media

In these probing, eloquent, and sometimes lacerating essays, Adorno’s continuing fascination with the rhinoceros is the occasion for commentary on his claim that art, at least now, emerges as the stand-in for an absent nature, for a nature facing extinction. A surprising and demanding addition to both Adorno studies, and human reflection on art and the approaching disaster.
