A review by franfernandezarce
Aesthetics and Politics by Ernst Bloch, Theodor W. Adorno, Walter Benjamin

3.0

here's a compilation of each "battle":

round one: ernst bloch vs georg lukács

winner: lukács by sheer sassiness

round two: bertolt brecht vs walter benjamin

brecht worries about trashing lúkacs while benjamin talks about how much brecht likes to talk about himself--so we'll call this a tie

round three: theodor adorno vs walter benjamin

both very polite while mentioning things they don't agree with. the round would have gone to adorno for suggesting calling benjamin's essay "the work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction" but this one has to go to benjamin for calling adorno "teddy"

round four: theodor adorno vs theodor adorno

adorno replying to the void, aren't we the real winners here?
