1. Adorno: The Recovery of Experience (Suny Series in Contemporary Continental Philosophy)

3. Description : Examines the role of experience within Adorno&#8217sphilosophy of language and epistemology.In Adorno, Roger Foster argues that there is a coherent critical project at the core of Adorno&#8217sphilosophy of language and epistemology, the key to which is the recovery of a broader understanding of experience. Foster claims, in Adorno&#8217swritings, it is the concept of spiritual experience that denotes this richer vision of experience and signifies an awareness of the experiential conditions of concepts. By elucidating Adorno&#8217sview of philosophy as a critical practice that discloses the suffering of the world, Foster shows that Adorno&#8217sphilosophy does not end up in a form of resignation or futile pessimism. Foster also breaks new ground by placing Adorno&#8217stheory of experience in relation to the work of other early twentieth-century thinkers, in particular Henri Bergson, Marcel Proust, Edmund Husserl, and early Wittgenstein.&#8220#8230this book is exceptional.&#8221&#8212CHOICE&#8220Ths book argues its position clearly, engages incisively with the available secondary literature in both English and German, and establishes a new interpretive position that in some ways corrects and in others enhances the scholarly literature.&#8221&#8212Max Pensky, editor of The Actuality of Adorno: Critical Essays on Adorno and the Postmodern&#8220Ths is the most lucid presentation I&#8217veever read of Adorno&#8217swork. This is a special achievement because Foster is dealing with one of the most difficult and nuanced aspects of Adorno: his conception of experience in relation to language.&#8221&#8212Tom Huhn, editor of The Cambridge Companion to Adorno
