From the translator’s (E.B. Ashton) introduction to Adorno’s Negative Dialectics:
[This book] overflows with allusions, with paraphrases of renowned and not so renowned quotations from men presupposed as familiar. Adorno has several ways of handling these. The original may be quoted at length, in the text or in footnotes, leaving the parallel to be figured out by the reader. Or the authors - modern ones in particular - are named, assuming only that the reader will know them sufficiently to understand what specific line or aspect of their work is here referred to. But sometimes such aids are dispensed with altogether, on the assumption that whoever reads Negative Dialectics will instantly have the source in mind.
Just be a lib like everybody else on this site, you wouldn’t have to try and understand anything ever again
You just gotta go aaaaaaaaaallllll the way back to the beginning and read up on the opinions of some ancient greasy dudes. Then follow the trail of white pedos until you get to Foucault.
Read some Marx
Tried to read Hegel
