<br/><br/>Against Epistemology is based on a manuscript Adorno originally wrote in Oxford in 1934-37 during his first years in exile and subsequently reworked in Frankfurt in 1955-56. The text was written as a critique of Husserls̈ phenomenology, but the critique of phenomenology is used as the occasion for a much broader critique of epistemology. Adorno described this as a m̈etacritique ̈which blends together the analysis of Husserls̈ phenomenology as the most advanced instance of the decay of bourgeois idealism with an immanent critique of the tensions and contradictions internal to Husserls̈ thought. The result is a powerful text which remains one of the most devastating critiques of Husserls̈ work ever written and which heralded many of the ideas that have become commonplace in contemporary philosophy.
