Review # 1 was written on 2015-01-26 00:00:00 Ron Bodnar I was only required to read a few essays from this book for a graduate independent study I'm doing, but overall Horkheimer is a clear author. In general this book is a discussion of the foundational structure of critical theory and social philosophy. Overall it reads as applied historical materialism, with an attempt to add some normative oomph to Marxian class critique. Definitely a good book to get your feet, before diving into the more abstruse works of the Frankfurt School, be it first generation, second, or third.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-01-22 00:00:00 JACK GENSER A collection of Horkheimer's early essays. They are very readable (if you are somewhat familiar with continental thought) and are filled with wonderful insights. A must read for those who are interested in critical theory.
