Every music theorist worth his salt has dismissed him. Even Schoenberg, whom Adorno worshipped, dismissed him outright.

Why is he still taken seriously in literature and philosophy departments?

oh veeeey

daily reminder that posting on 4chan means you're complicit

>caring about music theory
and that is why music is the most patrician art. it transcends attempts at pigeonholing it into bad theory and bs musicology.

Fair, but Adorno was a really bad music theorist and composer.

Maybe he was a good philosopher and social theorist, but didn't know diddly about music.

>> No.3895006

Well, I mean if every MUSIC theorist has dismissed him. I mean, my god, his other notable philosophical investigations not associated with music must also be bunk

>> No.3895357

>>3895006
Well, it does considerable damage to his entire critique of enlightenment culture when you can't take seriously what he says about music.

But of course he's right that we should only read Beckett!

>> No.3895372

I was under the impression we study Adorno to laugh at his misery. Adorno is Quentin, btw, separated by 7 decades in time

>> No.3895391

Because of his cultural critique of the social psychology behind political systems like fascism and capitalism.

the surest sign that exactly the sort of societal processes which Adorno railed against still proceed lies right here: that popular dismissal is equated with objective falsity.

Right. Schoenberg and everyone else was wrong except Adorno!

You can't critique Adorno lest you become complicit in the 16 trillion!

Hardly ever anything innovative comes out of someone who doesn't know his music theory.
