Features: As a renowned German philosopher and advocate of the Frankfurt School, Horkheimer's "Critical Theory" holds a pivotal position in German intellectual circles. This book is one of his major works. As the author himself stated, the book explores the various trends by which cultural progress moves towards its opposite. The book attempts to reveal this theme by describing American social phenomena in the 1930s and 1940s.
