Reviews

-Recent years have seen a wave of readers on the subject of the research and social philosophizing of those scholars who are now conveniently grouped under the label of the Frankfurt School, or Critical Theory. The Marcus and Tar book adds to this a selection of comments and critiques originally published in different American, German, and Italian books and journals in the 1970s. The articles are organized into six sections under the traditional headings of history/history of ideas, philosophy, aesthetics, sociology and social psychology, political science and political economy, and Marxism. . . . [Provides] a reprint of historical debates on one of the most remarkable developments in the history of ideas in this century.- --Peter A. Bruck, Contemporary Sociology
