However, the same thing he said for psychoanalysis – that its truth resides in its very exaggerations – goes for his own thought: he is at his most subversive when he gets involved in a deadlock. For this reason, this critical reader, focused on these deadlocks, is not just a commentary on his thought, but literally \u003ci\u003epart of it\u003c\/i\u003e. In short, this book is simply a \u003ci\u003emust\u003c\/i\u003e!\" \u003cb\u003eSlavoj Zizek\u003c\/b\u003e, Kulturwissenschaftliches Institute, Essen \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Against all odds, Adorno has emerged at the dawn of the twenty-first century as arguably the leading theoretical inspiration of our time.
