ADORNO, Theodor W Kierkegaard. Konstruktion des Ästhetischen. Tübingen: J. C. B. Mohr, 1933
Large octavo, 165pp. First edition of Adorno's first book, his Habilitationsschrift. Adorno is among the greatest philosophers of the Twentieth Century, and one of its most extraodinary writers. We have heard his immortal Minima Moralia (1951) described by one deeply sensitive reader as the most beautiful book ever written, a sentiment endorsed by not a few others. A very good copy in publisher's printed wrappers with minor wear and tear. Inscribed by Adorno on the title page, 1933, Herrn Juszher(?) Als Zeichen treuer Verbundenheit. T. W-A. Januar 1933.
