Adorno subsidiarily brings Samuel Beckett back to a kind of philosophy of modern music or to a modern philosophical music. Along this line, Adorno establishes analogies among Kafka, Beckett and Schönberg, which deny the function of art as a sedation of anxiety, creating an art that is above all a mockery of the authenticity of existentialism. The essay then explains the relationship of Adorno’s theories with Kierkegaard, but above all with Schopenhauer, from whom the German thinker derives an idea of ascetic art, distant and opposed to the infernal social voluntas.

Abstract
Adorno subsidiarily brings Samuel Beckett back to a kind of philosophy of modern music or to a modern philosophical music. Along this line, Adorno establishes analogies among Kafka, Beckett and Schönberg, which deny the function of art as a sedation of anxiety, creating an art that is above all a mockery of the authenticity of existentialism. The essay then explains the relationship of Adorno’s theories with Kierkegaard, but above all with Schopenhauer, from whom the German thinker derives an idea of ascetic art, distant and opposed to the infernal social voluntas.File in questo prodotto:
