"If Teddie one day makes a real declaration of love and gives up his perfectly sinful bachelor status . . . for the equally hypocritical state of marriage, his declaration of love will undoubtedly take such a difficult form that the young lady in question will have to have read the whole of Kierkegaard . . . to understand Teddie at all; otherwise she will surely misunderstand him and reject him...'' From another Frankfurter, Kracauer. Teddie is Adorno, and for me his Negative Dialectics was like reading Heidegger backward.
