About The Book
The Frankfurt School refers to an interdisciplinary, neo-Marxist social theory founded in 1923 at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Frankfurt, Germany. Tarr’s investigation focuses on three key areas: the original program of the Frankfurt School to provide a general theory of modern capitalist society, the continuation of Marxian theory through critical theory, and the scientific validity of critical theory within the context of natural and social sciences.
Tarr argues that critical theory is an expression of specific socio-historical conditions, particularly stemming from the marginal Jewish bourgeois intelligentsia of Central Europe. He suggests that the Frankfurt School’s evolution from ancient ethical philosophies like those of the Pre-Socratic and Platonic-Aristotelian schools marks a significant philosophical shift in the twentieth century. This shift led to changes in both philosophical theory and practice, focusing more on a psychologically oriented mode of social thought.
This study covers the entire history of the Frankfurt School's critical theory from 1923 to 1974, applying the same rigorous standards of critique that the School itself used on other theories, yet with balance and fairness.
