No contemporary audience grasped the full scope of Adorno’s 1950s activity

Evidence

In broad terms, this was the image Adorno would have offered to someone who was aware of the whole spectrum of his activities during the 1950s. But nobody saw it. Only some facets were noticed, although even these offered enduring rays of hope during the suffocating years of Adenauer’s chancellorship. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 536
