Working from within one of European modernity's defining oppositions-reason and theology-Adorno brings the two into constellation, a mode of thought in which neither side grounds itself or the other. Each exposes the other's limits, creating possibilities beyond the given. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough close readings of \u003ci\u003eDialectic of Enlightenment\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNegative Dialectics\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eAesthetic Theory\u003c\/i\u003e, Rachel R. Rosner traces this constellational relation across Adorno's critique of enlightenment, his theory of the concept, his aesthetics, and even the literary form of his prose. In doing so, the book intervenes in contemporary debates on postsecular theory, critical reason, and political theology by rethinking how normativity and critique operate without foundations on either side of the religious–secular divide. Accessible to newcomers and illuminating for specialists, this book serves as both an introduction to Adorno's philosophy and an alternative to the long-standing split between secularist and theological readings of his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRachel.
