About this product
Product Information
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.

Reviews
"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." -- J.M. Bernstein, University Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, The New School for Social Research, USA "Taking Adorno's enduring interest in the enigmatic rhinoceros as its starting point, this volume gives us a multi-faceted exploration of crucial dialectics in Adorno's thought, from the place of artworks in the dialectic of culture and nature to the distance between language and selfhood and the utopian promise in animals." -- Shierry Weber Nicholsen, psychoanalyst in private practice, USA, 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., Adorno's Rhinoceros is a modern day bestiary of a single and singular animal, whose presence in art and culture stands in stark contrast to its imminent absence from the natural world. At once a marvelous collection of essays, and a collection of marvelous essays, each chapter has an intriguingly tight focus on one motif in Adorno's philosophy, and one line of his Aesthetic Theory . Yet the essays radiate into the diverse topics of 'dumb' animal nature, of the enigmatic nature of artworks and their muteness, and explore philosophical questions of selfhood, transcendence, metaphysics and secularization., Taking Adorno's enduring interest in the enigmatic rhinoceros as its starting point, this volume gives us a multi-faceted exploration of crucial dialectics in Adorno's thought, from the place of artworks in the dialectic of culture and nature to the distance between language and selfhood and the utopian promise in animals., Centring on the enigmatic image of the rhinoceros, this brilliant volume of essays by established and emerging scholars explores how Adorno's bestiary dialectically configures an anticipation of the as yet unrealized promise of culture as well as the memory trace of its catastrophic failure., "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.

The book is a new copy (as I ordered). Arrived within the frame time. There was no way to track the shipping (which was annoying but I didn't try to contact the seller). The book was packaged in a secure envelope which protected it.
