The aim of this paper is to examine how Adorno's aesthetic and musicological thinking was received in Czech and Slovak musicology in the decades between the 60s and the 80s. The focus is on the Czech and Slovak translation of some of Adorno’s musicological treatises and lectures – especially those concerning his views on the Second Vienna School and the musical poetics of its immediate successors – which were published in former Czechoslovakia. The study offers an interesting perspective on Adorno’s relatively unknown lecture Form der neuen Musik (1965) and its related, although not identical, Czech version Formové princípy súčasnej hudby [Formal Principles of Contemporary Music] (1966) as well as on his discussion with some Slovak composers and musicologists published as Dnes je možné iba radikálne kritické myslenie [Today, Only Radical Critical Thinking is Possible] (1967). The study also considers other scientific texts by Adorno in relation to the above-mentioned translations of his works. The analysis, reflection, and interpretation of Adorno’s works in former Czechoslovakia, as well as their contemporary reception, turn out to be sporadic in the examined period. The purpose of this research is to revive awareness of their significance and to give a new impulse to their reassessment within the current musicological and philosophical reflection.
In the1960s, texts by the prominent German philosopher and musicologist Theodor W. Adorno were translated into the Czech and Slovak language. This was only possible due to the more relaxed social and political atmosphere of those years. The translated essays were published in professionally-oriented periodicals. This paper is aimed to map and evaluate the reception of Adorno’s translatedworks in Czechoslovakia. Although these texts embraced above all Adorno’s work in the sociology of philosophy, aesthetics of literature and musicology, this paper is mainly focused on Adorno’s musicological texts. Albeit mostly regarded as an original and extremely versatile author in Czechoslovakia, Adorno was also criticised on the background of Marxist-Leninist philosophy. In order to evaluate the reception of Adorno’s ideas in the Czech and Slovak environment, it is methodologically necessary to adopt a broader aesthetic-philosophical perspective that enables us to account for Adorno’s endorsement of the Marxist philosophy pursued at Frankfurt School of Philosophy.
Th. W. Adorno’s aesthetics represents a comprehensive reflection on a number of important topics in aesthetic research. Among them is the issue of the aesthetic experience generated by the beauty of nature. In the perspective of Adorno’s theory, the experience of natural beauty is described as a quality that forms in an immanent relation to the historical and social reality of humans. In the first place, one can observe the fundamental dependence of natural beauty on the degree of social domination of nature. By failing to reflect on this social mediation, the experience of natural beauty appears to be immediate and creates the deceptive fantasy of the primordial form of nature. At the same time, however, Adorno uncovers a positive potential in the experience of natural beauty – it lies in the ability to transcend a power-based subjectivity that reduces reality to the substrate of the domination. By means of the transcendence of subjectivity, the experience of natural beauty opens up the possibility to perceive and approach reality in the unreduced fullness of its qualities while also anticipating a reconciliation of man with nature in an allegorical way. The aim of my study is to describe the sketched aspects of the experience of natural beauty.

Mannov román Doktor Faustus. Das Leben des deutschen Tonsetzers Adrian Leverkühn erzählt von seinem Freunde (Doktor Faustus. Život nemeckého skladateľa Adriana Leverkühna rozprávaný jeho priateľom, 1947) je jeden z najznámejších literárnych diel 20. storočia. Základom jeho vzniku bolo stretnutie T. Manna s filozofom a muzikológom T. W. Adornom v americkom exile počas 2. svetovej vojny. Mannov román je poetizáciou a narativizáciou, či literarizáciou a fikcionalizáciou Adornovej hudobnej teórie a estetiky ako ich nachádzame v rôznych Adornových prácach, najmä v knihe Philosophie der neuen Musik (1949).
Mannov román Doktor Faustus. Das Leben des deutschen Tonsetzers Adrian Leverkühn erzählt von seinem Freunde (Doktor Faustus. Život nemeckého skladateľa Adriana Leverkühna rozprávaný jeho priateľom, 1947) vznikol v úzkej spolupráci spisovateľa Th. Manna a Th. W. Adorna. Adorno bol Mannovi nielen odborným konzultantom v otázkach dejín hudby, hudobnej estetiky a hudobnej teórie, ale bol do istej miery aj spoluautorom románu: hudobné analýzy a charakteristiky skladieb ktoré sa viažu na fiktívne románové postavy hudobníkov Kretzschmara a Leverkühna, ako aj na Mefista, pochádzajú od Adorna. Špecifickým problémom románu v tomto zmysle je „fiktívna hudba“. Adorno vytvoril fiktívne hudobné skladby fiktívneho skladateľa Leverkühna, podľa Mannových predstáv. Východiskom tejto literárnej fikcie boli skladby A. Schönberga, I. Stravinského a G. Mahlera. Mannove/Adornove fiktívne skladby sú predmetom pozornosti v analýzach Mannovho románu, a sú témou aj tejto štúdie.
Štúdia Fiktívne hudobné kompozície Th. W. Adorna v románe Thomasa Manna „Doktor Faustus“vychádza z autorovej staršej štúdie Theodor W. Adorno a román Th. Manna ´Doktor Faustus´. In: Slovenské pohľady, č. 7-8, 2013, roč. 129, s. 136-147.
Pokračujúc v zámere predchádzajúceho príspevku tento text otvára znova problém recepcie Kantovho vymedzenia kategórie vznešeného. Variácie, ktoré vykonávajú Schopenhauer, Nietzsche a Adorno predstavujú inovatívne prístupy. Premostenie dejín tejto estetickej kategórie do 20.storočia v myslení sledovaných autorov predstavuje funkčnosť vznešeného v premenách umeleckého a estetického diskurzu a nabáda k jeho aktualizovaniu v súčasnosti.
