«Minima Moralia: Reflections on a Damaged Life» is the philosophical essay by Theodor W. Adorno, published by Verso in paperback (256 pages, in English).
Minima Moralia brings together Adorno's reflections and aphorisms on damaged life in late capitalism: alienation, consumerism, loss of individuality and dehumanization. Adorno turns the observation of everyday life into a cultural and moral critique of modern society, marked by oppression and the commodification of life.
Minima Moralia was first published in 1951. The English translation of «Minima Moralia» is by E. F. N. Jephcott; this edition is part of Verso's Radical Thinkers series.
For philosophy readers interested in cultural criticism and the work of Theodor W. Adorno.
Theodor W. Adorno was a German philosopher, cultural, and music critic. He was a leading member of the Frankfurt School of critical theory, whose work has come to be associated with thinkers such as Ernst Bloch, Walter Benjamin, Max Horkheimer, Erich Fromm, and Herbert Marcuse, for whom the works of Sigmund Freud, Karl Marx, and G. W. F. Hegel were essential to a critique of modern society. As a critic of both fascism and what he called the culture industry, his writings—such as Dialectic of Enlightenment (1947), Minima Moralia (1951), and Negative Dialectics (1966)—strongly influenced the European New Left.
