Adornos Rhinoceros

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 Adornos texts, and articulates the nuanced interconnections between art, nature and critique in his thought. By thus illuminating key elements of Adornos 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.
