Even as Adorno questions tradition, the concept of tradition challenges Adorno--and his theory of culture and art. At a time when the idea of cultural heritage is undergoing fundamental rethinking, \u003ci\u003eThe Challenge of Tradition\u003c\/i\u003e asks how Adorno's insights might enable a reconception of the idea of tradition but without the baggage of traditionalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Uwe Hohendahl is Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Comparative Literature and German Studies at Cornell University.
