If we examine the transcripts of the lectures Adorno hold at Frankfurt University we can ascertain that unity of teaching and research that lets us glimpse into the intellectual and philosophical process underlying each of his published works. In this regard, the lectures on aesthetics are certainly no exception, quite the opposite: their value even increases if they are recognized as significant hermeneutical elements to go deeper into the investigation of the unfinished book Aesthetic Theory. Therefore, the present contribution aims at a presentation of those lectures able to illustrate – althou gh necessarily in a general way – their central contents, in order to demonstrate their richness and importance in the context of the studies concerning Adorno’s thought.
Disporre della possibilità di consultare le trascrizioni delle lezioni universitarie adorniane permette di toccare con mano quell’unità di insegnamento e ricerca che lascia intravedere il processo intellettuale e filosofico costitutivo di ogni sua opera a stampa. A tal proposito, i corsi di estetica non fanno certo eccezione, tutt’altro: il loro valore accresce perfino, se li si riconosce quali elementi ermeneutici significa tivi per approfondire l’indagine sull’incompiuta Teoria estetica. Pertanto, il presente contributo si impegna in una presentazione degli stessi, che – seppur in modo necessariamente generale – ne illustri i contenuti centrali, tali da dar prova della loro ricchezza e importanza nell’insieme delle riflessioni su Adorno.

Abstract
If we examine the transcripts of the lectures Adorno hold at Frankfurt University we can ascertain that unity of teaching and research that lets us glimpse into the intellectual and philosophical process underlying each of his published works. In this regard, the lectures on aesthetics are certainly no exception, quite the opposite: their value even increases if they are recognized as significant hermeneutical elements to go deeper into the investigation of the unfinished book Aesthetic Theory. Therefore, the present contribution aims at a presentation of those lectures able to illustrate – althou gh necessarily in a general way – their central contents, in order to demonstrate their richness and importance in the context of the studies concerning Adorno’s thought.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
