This book is a record of their discussions over three weeks in the spring of 1956, recorded with a view to the production of a contemporary version of \u003ci\u003eThe Communist Manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e. A philosophical jam-session in which the two thinkers improvise freely, often wildly, on central themes of their work--theory and practice, labor and leisure, domination and freedom--in a political register found nowhere else in their writing. Amid a careening flux of arguments, aphorisms and asides, in which the trenchant alternates with the reckless, the playful with the ingenuous, positions are swapped and contradictions unheeded, without any compulsion for consistency. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA thrilling example of philosophy in action and a compelling map of a possible passage to a new world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTheodor Adorno\u003c\/b\u003e was director of the Institute for Social Research at the University of Frankfurt from 1959 until his death in 1969.
