Notes on Adorno's "History and Freedom" - Lecture 1

I've just started reading History and Freedom by Theodor W. Adorno . The text is based on transcriptions of a 1964-65 lecture series given by Adorno at Frankfurt's Institute of Social Research .  The wisdom of the net deems them the easiest entry into his thoughts on his main work, Negative Dialectics ; I hope the net is right, I keep running into references to his work and am curious as to why.  Fair warning, I have absolutely no training in philosophy so read what follows at your own risk.
