Member of the Frankfurt School of philosophy, Theodor W. Adorno was recognized by the Institute of Social Research in the same city as an eminent thinker before deciding, in 1928, to leave Nazi Germany and move to the United States. He returned to Frankfurt only in 1958, when he assumed the role of Director of the same Institute.
A musicologist, philosopher, and composer, he wrote numerous essays, among the most well-known are “Philosophy of Modern Music” and “Dialectic of Enlightenment.”
Among his most famous quotes are:
“Bourgeois society is ruled by equivalence. It makes the dissimilar comparable by reducing it to abstract quantities. To the enlightenment, that which does not reduce to numbers, and ultimately to the one, becomes illusion.”
“Wrong life cannot be lived rightly.”
“The power of the culture industry’s ideology is such that conformity has replaced consciousness.”
