Theodor Adorno

The person that I admire is called Theodor Adorno. Adorno was a philopher, that studys sociology, psychology and musicology. He was born on september 11th in 1903 in Frankfurt, Germany, and he died  in august 6th in 1969 in Viége, Switzerland.
Adorno, is considered one of the most important representative of the Fráncfort School, and the critical theory of Marxist inspiration.
To the final of 1940, ended the war world II, he come back to Frankfurt after leave the country escaped of the Nazi regime. When he lived in the exile, in U.S.A., he wrote "dialectics of the enlightenment" with Max Horkheimer. In 1940, he assume the charge of director of the "Social Investigation Institute", and revive the "Fráncfort School of the Critical Theory". Her theory continue in the line of the analyze of the rationalism like a instrument for the liberty and the control, and the critic of the capitalism society like a restriction of the form  of thought and the action.
I admire Adorno, because he not only made an invaluable contribution for the society, with the inspiration of the young movement of protest, also as an academic that made a contribution for the Fráncfort School.
I'll leave a video with a little of his story:
