CRITICAL PHILOSOPHER: Theodor W Adorno (right) [Jeremy J Shapiro/Creative Commons]

THIS slim booklet is a transcription of a 1967 lecture given two years before his death by Theodor W Adorno at the University of Vienna, addressing the then rise of the right-wing National Party of Germany (NPD).

Adorno, who fled Germany for exile in the US before returning home after the second world war, is one of the most renowned representatives of the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory.
