L.s.,

I am prepearing a paper on Adorno's philosophy of new music. In that
paper I want (among other things) to confront Adorno's negative
dialectic with views from contemporary anglo-american philosophy, esp.
those of Donald Davidson. (Maybe a tricky thing to do; those worlds
seems so far apart.)
Does anyone know if there is some literature in which *early*
Frankfurter thougt (esp. Adorno) is confronted with contemporary
anglo-american philosophy?
The only study I know is Ulrich Mueller's *Erkenntniskritik und Negative
Metaphysik bei Adorno*, Frankfurt a. M. 1988, in which views of Wilfrid
Sellars are discussed.
