| Summary |
Annotation. These essays, written in the 1930s and 1940s, represent a first selection in English from the major work of the founder of the famous institute for Social Research in Frankfurt. Horkheimer's writing are essential to an understanding of the intellectual background of the New Left and to much current social-philosophical thought, including the work of Herbert Marcuse |
