Adorno's thought, usually seen as a mix of critical Marxism, Freudian psychoanalysis, aesthetic modernism, and Jewish tradition. \u003c\/b\u003eMikko Immanen argues for another, previously unacknowledged source of Adorno's thinking on instrumental reason, dialectic of enlightenment, and frailty of democracy: the intellectual underpinnings of Germany's \"conservative revolutionary\" movement of the 1920s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a dramatic reappraisal of the leading light of the Frankfurt School, Immanen follows Adorno's path of philosophical development from the late Weimar era through years in exile to the postwar period, establishing his debt to thinkers of radical conservative bent. In particular, he focuses on Adorno's enduring, and daring, effort to harness two of the most infamous works from this tradition--Oswald Spengler's \u003ci\u003eDecline of the West\u003c\/i\u003e and Ludwig Klages's \u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eSpirit as Adversary of the Soul--and to repurpose their reactionary teachings for emancipatory ends.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMikko Immanen is Academy Research Fellow at the Centre for European Studies at the University of Helsinki.
