Dethroning the Hidden King
The article offers a novel reading of the intellectual origins of the Frankfurt School critical theory by examining its overlooked prehistory in the early 1920s and Max Horkheimer’s encounter with Martin Heidegger. Unlike previous literature, it does not focus on Horkheimer’s criticisms of Being and Time (1927) but rather on his ambivalent impressions as a student of Heidegger’s postwar lectures in Freiburg. The latter, the article argues, served…
Minima Moralian esittely
Minima Moralia: Ajatuksia särjetystä elämästä (1951) on Frankfurtin koulukunnan keskeisen ajattelijan, Theodor W. Adornon (1903–1969) henkilökohtaisin teos. Se koostuu aforistisista, osin omaelämäkerrallisista lyhytesseistä, jotka lähtevät liikkeelle maanpakoon ajetun juutalaisintellektuellin kokemuksista ja laajenevat psykologisiksi, sosiologisiksi ja filosofisiksi pohdinnoiksi läntisen maailman tilasta toisen maailmansodan aikana. Vuosina 1944–…
Heidegger in ruins
Days of the Cavemen? Adorno, Spengler, and the Anatomy of Caesarism
This article addresses the controversial question of Theodor W. Adorno's debt to right-wing Zivilisationskritik by a close reading of his essay "Spengler after the Decline" (1950). The article shows that despite Adorno's harsh polemics against Oswald Spengler's Decline of the West (1918, 1922), he sought to make Spengler's analysis of Weimar Germany's undemocratic tendencies-"Caesarism"-serve progressive ends. However, Adorno's essay was not just…
Toward a Concrete Philosophy
Toward a Concrete Philosophy
This book explores the reactions of Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, and Herbert Marcuse to Martin Heidegger prior to their dismissal of him once he turned to the Nazi party in 1933. The book provides a fascinating glimpse of the three future giants of twentieth-century social criticism when they were still looking for their philosophical voices. By reconstructing their overlooked debates with Heidegger and Heideggerians, the book argues that Ador…
Revisiting Marcuse's "Habilitation Odyssey" in the Light of Heidegger's "Black Notebooks
At the turn of the 1930s the German Jewish philosopher Herbert Marcuse wrote his habilitation study for Martin Heidegger, in which he appropriated Heidegger's 1927 Being and Time to provocatively cast G. W. F. Hegel as the originator of the problematic of "being and time." However, what took off as a fruitful collaboration between Germany's new philosophical star and the soon-to-be Frankfurt School thinker ended up in Heidegger's rejecting Marcus…
