Reviews

"[this book] offers an argument constructed through his [Adorno's] works, investigating, developing and interrogating a concept of life around and through his writings on diverse subjects." - Josh Robinson, Radical Philosophy, 2008

"Morgan's optimistic book shows that thinking with Adorno beyond Adorno entails a renewed philosophical attention to neglected variants of experience." - Ulrich Pass
