Reflections are offered by the current editor on the twenty-year history of Telos, an academic journal devoted to Western Marxism & critical theory. Founded by a group of graduate students at the State U of New York, Buffalo, Telos began as an effort to revitalize US philosophy in the late 1960s by rediscovering European thought & Western Marxism. Telos's early rejection of the structuralism of Louis Althusser is accounted for, as is the journal's interest in phenomenology, GB philosophy of science, & critical theory. As Telos began to develop its project of a phenomenologically-grounded critical theory, the New Left began to disintegrate, rendering the journal a political orphan. During the 1970s & 1980s, the focus of Telos shifted to the new historicism, theories of modernization, & the rejuvenation of critical theory via the work of Jurgen Habermas. W. Howard
