The formative years of the Frankfurt school (1923-1950) must be understood in the context of the failure of the European Wc movement to respond to crisis & inflation by revolt & revolution. Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, & their associates were Marxists, but they reconverted Marxism into a Left-Hegelian speculative philosophy of nature & culture. They replaced the empirical study of contemporary society by Kulturkritik: a critical elitist reflection on the culture of advanced industrial societies. AA.

The second section explores Ethical Life and Intersubjectivity, two common threads that run through the work of Hegel, Habermas, and Honneth. Part III delves into the principal social projects that bring the Frankfurt School into complicated dialogue with Hegel: emancipation and rationality. Finally, the last group of essays considers Hegel in relation to Critical Political Theory and presents a critical genealogy of economic institutions"--
This volume is a collection of essays by Richard Wolin, a leading political theorist and intellectual historian.
