E ric O berle . Theodor Adorno and the Century of Negative Identity
While the topic of Eric Oberle’s Theodor Adorno and the Century of Negative Identity is not new, his approach and its results feel revelatory—and I am very self-consciously using the word “feel.” I’m not sure if I’ve ever read as moving a book on the history and development of critical theory. It’s not just that Oberle writes with great pathos for those of us willing to see the modern predicament of identity that Adorno uncovered but it’s also th…
Learning from Franz L. Neumann - Law, Theory, and the Brute Facts of Political Life: Law, Theory, and the Brute Facts of Political Life
A labor lawyer and publicist of weight in the Weimar Republic, Franz Neumann devoted his 21-year exile, after 1933, to understanding the failure of arrangements supposed to be in the line of social progress. He sought to delineate a new conception of democracy as a vehicle of social change. "Learning from Franz Neumann" examines Neumann's social and political theory in the context of his career as a practitioner, learner, and teacher
S tefan M üller -D oohm . Habermas: A Biography
Udi Greenberg. The Weimar Century: German Émigrés and the Ideological Foundations of the Cold War
German exile studies have flourished amid many romantic tropes. Since the inception of the subfield, Peter Gay’s notion of the “outsider” as “insider” has remained dominant. Weimar thought has been either hailed as the triumph of modernism, or has been judged to be the beginning of Western civilization’s end. The Weimar exile either represents the harbinger of transcendent, “new” ways of thinking, or embodies the failure of modernity. Regardless …
 Has Germany a Political Theory? Is Germany a State?â The Foreign Affairs of Nations in the Political Thought of Franz L. Neumann
Debate about methods in the social sciences, especially the conception of social science method for which the Institute stands
How can we tell it to the children?' A deliberation at the Institute of Social Research: January 1941
To introduce an archival protocol of a 'Debate about methods in the social sciences, especially the conception of social science method represented by the Institute', held on 17 January 1941 at the Institute of Social Research in New York, the article focuses on certain conflicts in substance and terms of discourse among members of the Institute, with special emphasis on Franz Neumann's distinctive approaches, notwithstanding his professed loyalt…
The Frankfurt School in Exile
Thomas Wheatland examines the influence of the Frankfurt School, or Horkheimer Circle, and how they influenced American social thought and postwar German sociology. He argues that, contrary to accepted belief, the members of the group, who fled oppression in Nazi Germany in 1934, had a major influence on postwar intellectual life
Contested Legacies: Political Theory and the Hitler Era
The Frankfurt School's Invitation from Columbia University: How the Horkheimer Circle Settled on Morningside Heights
Oddly enough, the Frankfurt School's relationship to Columbia Universityhas been somewhat neglected by its many historians. It is nothard to understand why the Horkheimer circle would have desiredto settle at Columbia, but it is peculiar that the Frankfurt Schoolwould have received an invitation from Columbia. After all, whywould Columbia University's conservative president, Nicholas MurrayButler, and its sociology department extend an invitation…
Critical Theory on Morningside Heights: From Frankfurt Mandarins to Columbia Sociologists
The Frankfurt School's first years on Morningside Heights progressed very smoothly. Based on the group's activities and accomplishments, it is clear that its members had not misrepresented themselves to Columbia's sociologists and administrators. The emphasis that had been placed on scientific social research had not been an empty marketing scheme. Members of the Institute for Social Research were throughout the 1930s. This was never more true th…
