Aesthetic Theory by Theodor W. Adorno is a profound exploration of modernism and its complexities, offering readers a comprehensive defense of illusion in art. This seminal work serves as the culmination of a lifetime of aesthetic investigation, where Adorno grapples with the intricate relationship between art and society.
