Abstract
Anyone who approaches Adorno’s thought will soon become aware of several difficulties — a fact that commentators have been keen to point out: Adorno is an immensely difficult thinker (e.g. Brittain, Adorno and Theology 9; Jarvis, Adorno 2–3; Spitzer, Music as Philosophy 6–7; van Reijen, Adorno 1–2). Consequently, the traditional commentary on Adorno’s thought is there to help us in our understanding. Supported by commentators, who concentrate on this or that, we are supposed to slowly get around the main obstacles and get a clearer picture.
