The inadequacy of life: observations on Adorno.

The article focuses on the life and works of Theodor W. Adorno in Germany. Accordingly, Stefan MÜller-Doohm has made a clear statement that young Adorno's earliest vocation was music rather than philosophy and sociology. Moreover, Adorno's musical expression has moved in the direction of the Second Viennese School, which favours an aesthetic of human seriousness as a strict attention to form and the superseding of the old and familiar techniques of atonality. Further, the musician saw in the bourgeois musical order of the late 19th century was mirrored by Adorno's reading of cultural critics who emphasized a decadent tendencies of capitalism.
