Summary:Herbert Marcuse, Erich Fromm, Max Horkheimer, Franz Neumann, Theodor Adorno, Leo Lowenthal--the impact of the Frankfurt School on the sociological, political, and cultural thought of the twentieth century has been profound. The Dialectical Imagination is a major history of this monumental cultural and intellectual enterprise during its early years in Germany and in the United States. Martin Jay has provided a substantial new preface for this edition, in which he reflects on the continuing relevance of the work of the Frankfurt School.

Berkeley Professor Jay's intellectual history covers the influential Frankfurt School, a group of German philosophers whose radical cultural criticism laid much of the groundwork for contemporary critical theory. (Mar.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

Review by Library Journal Review

Though finding some flaws in the text, LJ's reviewer nonetheless dubbed this history of the Frankfort School and the Institute for Social Research a "coherent, judicious discussion of this controversial band of German Theorists." Libraries lacking such a volume should purchase this "lucid study" (LJ 1/1/73). (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
