Adorno says cannot be separated from how he says it. By the same token, what he thinks cannot be isolated from how he thinks it. The central aim of Richter's book is to examine how these basic yet far-reaching assumptions teach us to think \u003ci\u003ewith\u003c\/i\u003e Adorno—both alongside him and in relation to his diverse contexts and constellations. These contexts and constellations range from aesthetic theory to political critique, from the problem of judgment to the difficulty of inheriting a tradition, from the primacy of the object to the question of how to lead a right life within a wrong one.\u003cbr\u003e Richter vividly shows how Adorno's highly suggestive—yet often overlooked—concept of the \"uncoercive gaze\" designates a specific kind of comportment in relation to an object of critical analysis: It moves close to the object and tarries with it while struggling to decipher the singularities and non-identities that are lodged within it, whether the object is an idea, a thought, a concept, a text, a work of art, an experience, or a problem of political or sociological theory.\u003cbr\u003e Thinking with Adorno's uncoercive gaze not only means following the fascinating paths of his own work; it also means extending hospitality to the ghostly voices of others. As this book shows, Adorno is best understood as a thinker in dialogue, whether with long-deceased predecessors in the German tradition such as Kant and Hegel, with writers such as Kafka, with contemporaries such as Benjamin and Arendt, or with philosophical voices that succeeded him, such as those of Derrida and Agamben.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e: The Art of Reading   1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1. \u003c\/b\u003eAdorno and the Uncoercive Gaze   17\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2. \u003c\/b\u003eBuried Possibility: Adorno and Arendt on Tradition   39\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3. \u003c\/b\u003eThe Inheritance of the Constellation: Adorno and Hegel   70\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4.\u003c\/b\u003e Judging by Refraining from Judgment: Adorno's Artwork and Its \u003ci\u003eEinordnung   \u003c\/i\u003e95\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5.\u003c\/b\u003e The Literary Artwork between Word and Concept: Adorno and Agamben Reading Kafka   115\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e6. \u003c\/b\u003eThe Artwork without Cardinal Direction: Notes on Orientation in Adorno   131\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e7.\u003c\/b\u003e False Life, Living On: Adorno with Derrida   144\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eConclusion\u003c\/b\u003e: A Kind of Leave-Taking   161\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/b\u003e  167\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eNotes \u003c\/b\u003e  169\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIndex\u003c\/b\u003e   203\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580354490648,"sku":"9780823284030","price":78.76,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/thinking-with-adorno-the-uncoercive-gaze-hardback-9780823284030","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
