Gordon asserts that misinterpretations of Adorno’s work as purely pessimistic neglect his focus on pursuing happiness amidst a damaged reality. He argues that Adorno's outlook, while consistently critical, inherently holds space for the possibility of human flourishing in life's precarious circumstances.
