This book is the first comprehensive intellectual biography of Max
Horkheimer during the early and middle phases of his life (1895
1941). Drawing on unexamined new sources, John Abromeit describes
the critical details of Horkheimer's intellectual development. This
study recovers and reconstructs the model of early Critical Theory
that guided the work of the Institute for Social Research in the
1930s. Horkheimer is remembered primarily as the co-author of
Dialectic of Enlightenment, which he wrote with Theodor W. Adorno
in the early 1940s. But few people realize that Horkheimer and
Adorno did not begin working together seriously until the late
1930s or that the model of Critical Theory developed by Horkheimer
and Erich Fromm in the late 1920s and early 1930s differs in
crucial ways from Dialectic of Enlightenment. Abromeit highlights
the ways in which Horkheimer's early Critical Theory remains
relevant to contemporary theoretical discussions in a wide variety
of fields.
