Books by Giacomo Fronzi
The exciting story proposed in the book intends to bring contemporary music closer to its potential listeners through the stories of people such as Stockhausen, Gershwin, Berio, Xenakis, Takemitsu, Piazzolla or Sofija Gubajdulina who, in their variety, give an idea of the exceptional richness of the musical languages of the 20th and 21st centuries and their closeness to the human condition of our time.
Among the main protagonists of contemporary philosophy who carefully and intensely dealt with dialectics, Theodor W. Adorno must be surely mentioned. In the last decade, the in-ternational philosophical community seems to have realized again how important and indeed essential his theoretical contribution has been and still is. The publication of previously unpublished writings of the Frankfurter thinker, edited by the Theodor W. Adorno Archiv, has probably contributed to the renewed interest in Adorno’s philosophy. Among these unpublished works, some of his lec-ture courses are of greatest importance, such as those on Aesthetics (1958-59), on Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason (1959), on the Problems of Moral Philosophy (1963), and on Metaphysics (1965). The aim of this issue of “Discipline filosofiche” is to explore how Adorno contributed to the development of dialectical thinking by outlining an original kind of negative dialectics; and in particular to analyze the decisive role played by the question concerning truth that Adorno also (but not only) explored with regard to the “truth content” of art, and always (i.e. even outside of aesthetic theory) with reference to the fundamental “enigmatic character” of truth.
