Adorno's astonishing masterwork is truly the Capital of the 21st century, the first theoretical document to set micropolitics in motion towards global geopolitics. I created this new version of Adorno's classic text because the existing Ashton translation was riddled with so many basic translating errors as to be virtually unusable in a classroom setting. My new version is far from perfect, but at least gets the philosophical terms right, and hopefully captures a bit more of the incomparable power and beauty of Adorno's original prose. Feel free to quote, cite or otherwise use this translation; just be sure to cite this website as a source.
