Life of the Community
In March 1916 the German Jewish writer, philosopher, and anarchist-activist Gustav Landauer gave a lecture on Friedrich Hölderlin's hymn "The Rhine" (1802) at a women's club in central Berlin. The lecture aims to derive from Hölderlin a concept of community designed to disavow German militarism and gesture to a wholly different understanding of the social. Taking his cue from Hölderlin, Landauer thus argues that community is not a state in which …

By re-appraising Adorno’s writings on politics, ph…
Etwas Fehlt”
During a radio debate in 1964, Bloch and Adorno clashed over the status of Utopia in Marx’s thinking. In particular, the disagreement concerned the possibilities (or, rather, limitations) of picturing – with Marx and beyond Marx – a condition in which all societal antagonisms have been reconciled. It is telling, then, that their conversation quickly came to turn on a surprising term: the Old Testament interdiction against making images of God. Gi…
Inverse Theology
The striking prevalence of theological motifs spanning Theodor W. Adorno's work has long been noted, from his repeated references to the Old Testament interdiction against making images of God to his evocative citations of a messianic light. This terminological peculiarity raises a difficult question: how are we to grasp the relation between Adorno's worldly critique of capitalist modernity and his use of religious terms? After all, Adorno explic…
