	Frankfurt School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Their emphasis on the "critical" component of theory was derived significantly from their attempt to overcome the limits of positivism, crude materialism, and phenomenology by returning to Kant's critical philosophy and its successors in German idealism, principally Hegel's philosophy, with its emphasis on negation and contradiction as inherent properties of reality.
		Horkheimer and Adorno already present in these works many themes that have come to dominate the social thought of recent years: the domination of nature appears as central to Western civilization long before ecology had become a catchphrase of the day.
		Its central notion, long a focal one for Horkheimer and Adorno, suggests that the original sin of thought lies in its attempt to eliminate all that is other than thought, the attempt by the subject to devour the object, the striving for identity.

	WALTER BENJAMIN AND MAX HORKHEIMER
		Horkheimer’s later critique of Marx and his refusal to positive utopianism and positivism is based on Jewish forbiddness of posing the obsolete, the transcendental, as something that can be conceived in positive human concepts.
		According to Horkheimer, the goal of enlightenment was to free man from the horror of the mythical, and to institute his sovereignity.
		Benjamin, Horkheimer and Adorno did understand this from a sober point of view, which does not share the optimism of the positive utopian project, and which is also not at ease in established religion and its conception of redemption.

		Max Horkheimer was appointed professor of social philosophy in 1930 at the University of Frankfurt, and in less than a year he took over the leadership of the Institut für Sozialforschung (Institute for Social Research).
		Horkheimer saw clearly that so-called constructive philosophies involve specialist axioms or rationalistic postulates that lead to reductionistic thinking, and he shows emphatically that conceptualization without ongoing, reflexive re-evaluation is a dead end.
		Max Horkheimer’s reductions to absurdity of contemporary objectivity and subjectivity are performances of the critical re-evaluation of conceptualization that informs all significant developments of rationality.

		As director of the institute, Horkheimer reserved for himself, the role of synthesizing the various researches of the members, and presenting the programmatic statements of critical theory.
		Although Horkheimer's work is not as dazzling or as original as that of Adorno and as utopian as the later Marcuse, his work on the scope and nature of a critical social science, retains an importance today.
		It was Horkheimer who first furnished the outlines for a critical social theory which was demarcated from other approaches in philosophy and social science.

		Together with THEODOR W. and HERBERT MARCUSE, Horkheimer was the foremost representative of the 'Critical Theory' associated with the Institute of Social Research (or 'Frankfurt School').
		Horkheimer became director of the Institute in 1930, organised its move into exile from Nazi Germany and supervised the return of the Institute to Frankfurt in 1949.
		Consistent in Horkheimer 's life work is the attempt to sustain a critique of reason conducted in acknowledgement of suffering, a critique in the name of the entirely 'other', acknowledging everything dominated and suppressed by the regimes of identity thinking.

	Ralph Dumain: "The Autodidact Project": Essay: Max Horkheimer's Materialism
		Horkheimer begins his essay by dissecting Dilthey. Somewhere in the middle of this essay, I lose the thrust of Horkheimer's argument.
		Horkheimer also draws a distinction between the lebensphilosophie and irrationalism of the 19th century, which he lauds as a protest against the dehumanizing tendencies of modern social organization, and the same tendencies of the 20th century, which he sees as unequivocally reactionary and conformist.
		Horkheimer is revealed here to be pretty sharp as a whole, but I think the fatal flaw of him and his colleagues is also revealed.

		Horkheimer delivered his inaugural address on January 24, 1931; it was entitled "The Present Situation of Social Philosophy and the Tasks of an Institute for Social Research." It provided the first major conception of his view of critical social theory as a synthesis of social science and philosophy.
		Horkheimer illustrated the project of the Institute’s social theory by indicating that an empirical study of the white-collar working class would be its first research project.
		Horkheimer and Adorno did not seem particularly interested in reviving the project of developing an interdisciplinary social theory of the contemporary epoch, however; indeed, they no longer seemed to believe that such a theory could be grounded in the Marxian critique of political economy or serve as a springboard for revolutionary politics.

	The educational-political aims of the West-German re-education project: democracy and equality

		For Adorno and Horkheimer, this "disaster triumphant" is not the outcome of determinate specific forms of social and economic organisation, but of a conflict between "Man" and "Nature", myth and reason, an abstract dialectic between subjective and objective reason.
		This position lead Horkheimer to capitulate to the capitalist camp, as being "the lesser of the two evils" and to reactionary anti-communism, supporting nuclear programmes against the socialist countries in the name of the defence of the freedom of the individual (HGS8, 345).
		Wiggerhaus, pp 472 and 674) Adorno and Horkheimer were also famously hostile to the 1960s student movement (and called the police to deal with the seventy-six students who occupied their institute on 31 January 1969).

		Horkheimer’s refusal to publish the Fromm study under the auspices of the Institute was a major factor in the rift between Fromm and the Frankfurt School.
		Horkheimer and Fromm engaged in discussions at the end of 1939, but as Wiggershaus puts it “the breach had already taken place, and only the arrangements for the separation remained to be dealt with (Wiggershaus, 1994: 271).
		Horkheimer was clearly concerned about presenting a certain image and a common Institute front in relation to orthodox Freudians who were alarmed at the criticisms of classical psychoanalytic theory presented in Fromm’s work.

	Socio-historical learning after Auschwitz?
		The historical materials of the archives of Theodor W. Adorno, Max Horkheimer and Herbert Marcuse are significant in the cultural-historical sense from the viewpoint of researching the National Socialist and the post-war era (1930-1960).
		The ethics of science and the moral issues were in a highly precarious state even in the new situation, which is proved, for instance, by the struggles in the connection of the dismissals of the university and the teaching staff.
		(Max Horkheimer -Archive II 8 28-32; Max Horkheimer-Archive V 13 (23-58), 40; Max Horkheimer -Archive V 13 (42-43).) The most important thing was, however, that moral questions were given attention in the discourses of the critical theory.

		This primary dislocation was accentuated by a further, secondary dislocation, from Columbia University in New York to Los Angeles; this re-exile, a common feature of the exile experience, had significant ramifications for their study of culture, especially of the Culture Industry.
		It is well known that the members of the Institute, among them Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Leo Loewenthal, Friedrich Pollock and Herbert Marcuse, were forced into exile during the regime of the National Socialists for religious and political reasons.
		The result of this study confirmed Horkheimer's qualms about the future of a research group almost completely composed of intellectuals that were both Jewish and Marxist, and reinforced his plans to prepare for the Institute’s emigration.

		In Horkheimer and Adorno, the dialectical claim is that the very science and technology produced by the 18th century enlightenment would over time produce its opposite.
