Henk:
I know of nothing that Adorno wrote on Anglo-American philosophy.
Marcuse wrote a lot of reviews in the Zeitschrift on A-A philo books from
the late 1930s and early 1940s and of course has the infamous chapter on
One-Dimensional THought in ODM attacking analytical philosophy.
Horkheimer had a chapter on contemporary trends in American philosophy in
ECLIPSE of REASON and of course Habermas engages all and sundry... but
Adorno just did not, as far as I know, engage this tradition...
