As opposed to not reading anything at all, not looking at anything through any critical lens, accepting everything that appears before you as matter of fact and being reductive, and being spoonfed by low brow media and other people that don't read and are the same as you and don't know what they are talking about?

hmmm did I say all that? It seems unlikely, because your supposed quote of my statement is actually longer than my original statement. how peculiar.

I guess you never learned to reason things through on your own, so you were forced to pretend I said something completely different so you could deploy a counter argument you've already memorized.

You actually believe your own nonsense. Hence why I called you brainwashed.

You're not right, and you're never going to be right no matter how much you pretend I conveniently implied everything you would need for your counterargument.

What's the difference between Adorno's Aesthetics and Aesthetic Theory? Which is the better read?

>> No.14273211

>>14273176
Anon there is only one Adorno book on aesthetics there. And Aesthetic Theory is Adorno's final boss book it's very dense. Read some other Adorno stuff before like Minima Moralia and his lectures if you are not familiar with him.

>> No.14273223

>>14273211
I know but I realized that he has two books, one "Aesthetics" and the other "Aesthetic Theory." If the latter is super dense I might not bother. All I've read is The Culture Industry but I'm looking for more things vaguely relevant to art and culture.

I've read Mechanical Reproduction and tried and failed to understand the arcades. Is there anything you'd recommend? I'm kinda sick of pre-WWII writing that talks about paradigms of art since it's so far removed from today's world.

Well I mean, I particularly care about film and film theory, and anything on the cinema from that era is about like why sound killed the moving picture artform, or the philosophy of a cut, or duration. Real simplified shit. The medium has evolved too much since then and reading someone harp on about Eisenstein or Murnau just isn't valuable.

>being reductive
You do realize that reducing some phenomenon to "theory" and a "critical lens" is an act of reduction right? Why is that theoryfags are always useless at actually thinking and philosophy? No one outside philosophy departments should be allowed to touch continental philosophy.

Not just media, it's of all relations of people whether it be economy, culture, aesthetics, language, etc. These aren't things that are just there, they are all constructed and theory and the variety of lenses that we have gives us a closer look at them.

Well good theory isn't "reductive" lol and there is a variety of it it's not like it's just one thing. And everyone in the philosophy department reads critical theory because it is philosophy lol.
