Mine: I did not doubt about it. Adorno's _Aesthetic Theory_ offers more
possibilities to conceive art as a "praxis making" human enterprise,
whereas _Dialectic Of Enlightenment_ ,seems to me, a more pessimistic text
reflecting the circumstanes of declining liberal democracy and rise of
organized capitalism and state terror (Nazism and Stalinism).
 
George: But surely there exists a link between both publications. Adorno's aesthetic presents art as a "praxis making" human enterprise, as perhaps a limited form of emancipation, precisely because  DOE presents a pessimistic picture concerning conditions for social emancipation.
