Description: Dream Notes, Paperback by Adorno, Theodor W.; Godde, Christoph (EDT); Lonitz, Henri (EDT); Reemtsma, Jan Philipp (AFT); Livingstone, Rodney (TRN), ISBN 0745638317, ISBN-13 9780745638317, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Dream Notes offers a selection of Adorno's writings on dreams that span the last twenty-five years of his life. They provide an amazingly frank and uninhibited account of his inner desires, guilt feelings and anxieties. Brothel scenes, torture and executions figure prominently. They are presented straightforwardly, at face value. No attempt is made to 'interpret' them, to relate them to the events of his life, to psychoanalyse them, or to establish any connections with the principal themes of his philosophy. Are they fiction, autobiography or an attempt to capture a pre-rational, quasi-mythic state of consciousness? No clear answer can be given. Taken together, they provide a highly consistent picture of a dimension of experience that is normally ignored, one that rounds out and deepens our knowledge of Adorno while retaining something of the enigmatic quality that energized his own thought.
