Table of ContentsReviewsRichter's truly fresh look at the Frankfurt School writers through the genre of the philosophical miniature of the Denkbild is a stroke of genius. Richter demonstrates how the Denkbild was both a manifestation of a particular shared conception of aesthetics and a genre with which to expand this conception. The book's major accomplishment is to establish a significant connection between the work of the Frankfurt School and contemporary French thinkers, in particular, Deleuze and Derrida. --Rodolphe Gasche, SUNY Buffalo, author of The Honor of Thinking(Stanford, 2007) Masters of the philosophical miniature, Adorno, Benjamin, Bloch, and Kracauer were able to shine light through the smallest cracks in the facade of an increasingly opaque world. Building on their legacy, Gerhard Richter reveals himself to be no less adept at fashioning illuminating thought-images of his own. This collection of scintillating essays is a welcome addition to the ongoing and still lively reception of Frankfurt School ideas. --Martin Jay, University of California at Berkeley Richter's truly fresh look at the Frankfurt School writers through the genre of the philosophical miniature of the Denkbild is a stroke of genius.
