Theodor Adorno
Theodor Adorno was a German philosopher, sociologist, and musicologist, associated with the Frankfurt School of critical theory. His work spanned various fields, including aesthetics, culture, and social theory, where he critically examined the impact of capitalism on culture and individuality.
