During the 1960s, Adorno's "negative dialectics" became identified with the critical theory of the Frankfurt Institute, of which he had become the most illustrious member. Yet critical theory was never a fully articulated philosophy meaning the same thing for all the members of the Institute. It was more of a set of shared assumptions that distinguished their approach from bourgeois or "traditional" theory. Within this common frame, the methodology of individual members could and did vary. Thus, the term critical theory lacks historical precision, referring generally to the Institute's theoretical orientation during the thirty-odd years of Max Horkheimer's directorship. Although Adorno later clearly felt comfortable being called a "critical theorist," he first outlined the distinguishing characteristics of his own method seven years before he became a full-fledged Institute member
