The English-reading world has recently been offered the alpha and omega of Adorno's systematic works. Not only do Dialectic of Enlightenment and Negative Dialectics present Adorno's original programmatic evocation and his final methodological summary respectively, but the Jargon of Authenticity and Philosophy of New Music footnote these with lengthy statements on two favorite leit-motifs: the p...

The paper examines the early discussion on role of Heraclitus in Nietzsche’s philosophy, including some relatively little-known contributions by R. Oehler, E. Bertram and A.
