First published in 1980, this essay on the Frankfurt School deals
with one of the most important threads in the story of cultural
migration from Europe which began in the 1930s. For long best known
in the English-speaking world through the influence of Herbert
Marcuse, the school played a unique role in the history of the
intellectual emigration, since its core members, Max Horkheimer and
Theodor Adorno, returned to Germany after the Second World War to
reconstitute the Institute for Social Research, while the tradition
has subsequently been renewed by a post-war generation centred
around the social theorist Jurgen Habermas. The purpose of this
book is to convey an overall sense of the continuities and
discontinuities in the concerns of these representative figures
over two generations. It seeks to do this by showing the way in
which the experience of fascism shaped their interpretation of
modern society as a whole, and by setting their work within the
context of certain cultural conventions of German intellectual
history.
