Adorno dated his Weber marginalia to the year of his first Weber seminar

Evidence

Adorno’s library contains a copy of this book published in Tübingen by J.C.B. Mohr in 1922. A handwritten note by Adorno therein makes clear that all the marginalia and marks within it were in fact made in 1954, the year of his first seminar on Weber (twa, nb 2428, p. 192). — Dirk Braunstein, Adorno’s Critique of Political Economy, 1119

  • QUESTION: Worth chasing: whether Adorno’s 1954 seminar on Weber was the moment his critique of political economy took shape against Weberian sociology.
