"I don't know if it's because my brain is just totally melted from trying to understand Hegel and now it makes sense or if Adorno just really understands the subject, but this to me is the clearest presentation of Hegel's ideas that I have come across. Completely lucid and gets to the heart of the matter. There's something beautiful and dare I say moving about seeing these ideas so precisely conveyed." — Sep 23, 2025 12:12PM
