True ‘contradictions’ and conflicts in the Talmud
In this article, we consider the presence of what appear to be true contradictions in the Talmud. We consider and reject a glut-theoretic response. We argue these apparently contradictory Talmudic passages should be understood not as ordinary propositions, but as being given under an operator. This allows us to understand these rulings as genuinely conflicting, but not genuinely contradictory. We illustrate the broad shape of such a view through …
Musical Silences—Opaque and Capacious
I will argue that there are (at least) two species of musical silence, which cannot be distinguished by attending to how these silences sound. I term these two kinds of musical silence ‘capacious’ and ‘opaque’. Both capacious and opaque musical silences might occur in the midst of the ongoing production of sound or might exist in the complete absence of sound. Both kinds of silence can, in certain conditions, be sonically identical, but both are …

Adorno's Theory of Philosophical and Aesthetic Truth
Owen Hulatt undertakes an original reading of Theodor W. Adorno’s epistemology, deepening our understanding of his theories of truth, art, and the nonidentical. Hulatt’s interpretation casts Adorno’s theory of philosophical and aesthetic truth as substantially unified, supporting his claim that both philosophy and art are capable of being true.
On a Naqadan Vessel—Our Aesthetic Response to and Restoration of Prehistoric Artefacts
Prehistoric artefacts are capable of great beauty, despite our usually being in ignorance of the kind of cultural and interpretive practices which occasioned them, and which would make clear to us what such artefacts meant (or indeed, if they were artworks in the modern sense at all). I argue that often our aesthetic response to these artefacts—where we have no firm knowledge of their cultural context—is bound up with their ability to present a k…
Modal and Epistemic Immodesty: An Incoherence in Adorno's Social Philosophy
Recognition, Mediation and Proleptic Individuals
Axel Honneth has had considerable success in grounding his normative social philosophy on recognitive structures, and the capacity of experiences of disrespect to stimulate “struggles for recognition.” These struggles for recognition are held to yield advances in social structure, and to expand the individual's capacity for self-realization. In this paper, I show that this account relies on a supressed dichotomy (inherited from Mead) between the …
Interpretation and Circularity — Justificatory Issues in Adorno's Epistemology and Social Criticism, and a Gadamerian Response
Adorno's Practical Philosophy: Living Less Wrongly
Beginning with Habermas’ criticism in Philosophical Profiles, a traditional complaint levelled against Theodor Adorno's philosophy has been its apparent incapability to normatively support its assertions. Adorno consistently claimed to be an anti-foundationalist philosopher, eschewing all foundational premises and norms. As Habermas noted, however, and this has been something of a sticking point ever since, Adorno consistently makes use of moral …
Adorno, Interpretation, and the Body
Adorno sees experience as intrinsically interpretative. As interpretation requires normative constraints, in order to guide and channel this interpretative engagement, this opens the question of how experience acquires its motivating criteria. If experience is from the first criterially structured, how are these criteria acquired? Moreover, as these criteria are acquired in isolation from experience – as they are the precondition of that experien…
