Adorno, Strauss, and Antifascist Philosophy

By: Bernstein, Jeffrey A.

Examines the complementary philosophical approaches of Theodor Adorno and Leo Strauss to the question concerning how to best understand and resist fascism.

Despite the fact that Theodor Adorno and Leo Strauss evinced vastly different philosophical styles, Adorno, Strauss, and Antifascist Philosophy shows how complementary they were when it came to understanding, responding to, and inoculating their thought against fascist impulses. By making use of both published and unpublished writings and correspondence, Jeffrey A. Bernstein provides a comparative study of two thinkers for whom the question of fascism gets to the heart of their respective philosophical projects.
