Adorno on Kracauer


“The medium of his thought was experience, not that of the empiricist and positivist schools, which distill experience itself down to its general principles and make a method out of it. He pursued intellectual experience as something individual, determined to think only what he could fill with substance, only what had become concretized for him about people and things.”

Adorno, “The Curious Realist: On Sigfried Kracauer,” p. 162.
