The critical theory of religion
In our essay we trace the evolution of the critical theory of religion, or comparative dialectical religiology, out of the critical theory of society of the Institute for Social Research or the Frankfurt School. For us, the history of religions reflects the history of humanity's intellectual and spiritual evolution. As we developed our critical theory of religion, we have tried to supersede concretely the great accomplishments of three generation…
Manifesto of the Critical Theory of Society and Religion (3 vols.)
The Manifesto develops further the Critical Theory of Religion intrinsic to the Critical Theory of Society of the Frankfurt School into a new paradigm of the Psychology, Sociology, Philosophy and Theology of Religion. Its central theme is the theodicy problem. The Manifesto approaches this theme in the framework of comparative religion and critical political theology in a narrative and discursive fashion. In search of a solution to the theodicy p…

The Critical Theory of Society
This essay is concerned with the religious and theological dimension of Max Horkheimer's, Theodor W. Adorno's, and Walter Benjamin's and other theorists' critical theory of society. It aims at a new critical theory of religion, which would go beyond the religious and theological concerns of the critical theory of society. The essay concentrates on the way, in which the critical theorists of the first and second generation dealt with the modern di…

Adorno's Theory of Religion
Adorno discussed everything, including religion, within the framework of Western Marxism, which had reactivated the philosophical aspects of Marx's work only at the high price of regression into Hegelian idealism. It is thus not surprising that he returned to Hegel's philosophy of religion. Yet, while Hegel avoided discussing dissonances in religious reality in the context of declining Western Civilization, Adorno emphasized them. He continued He…
Fromm's Theory of Religion
Erich Fromm has been criticized by bis former colleagues at the Frankfurt Institute for having philosophically idealist theories, advising conformity to present capitalist society, and paying only lip service to social criticism. But an analysis of his theory of religion shows that it is not only faithful to the essential elements of critical social theory but that it culminates in the very foundation of critical theory: negative theology. As wit…
Horkheimer's Sociology of Religion
Along with Amery, Canetti, Steiner and Bloch, Max Horkheimer is one of those Jewish intellectuals who, in 20th century Europe, sought to re-examine the meaning of human existence. For these survivors of the holocaust neither the reassurances of liberal democracy nor the exhortations of a Zionist tradition could inspire confidence in the future. The barbarity of National Socialism had almost fully obliterated the Enlightenment, Western Christianit…
