The Frankfurt School: Routledge Philosophy Companion

The terms and phrases associated with the first decades of the Frankfurt School – exile, the dominance of capitalism, fascism – remain just as significant today as they were in the early twentieth century. The Frankfurt School's concerns are addressed in The Routledge Companion to the Frankfurt School and brought into direct engagement with our contemporary world. This volume gathers a distinguished group of international scholars from various disciplines to revisit the philosophical and political contributions of Theodor W. Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Max Horkheimer, Herbert Marcuse, Jürgen Habermas, Axel Honneth, and others. Throughout, the Companion focuses on the major ideas that have made the Frankfurt School such a consequential and enduring movement. It serves as a vital resource for those seeking to understand the global and cultural crisis that has gripped our world today.
