THE FRANKFURT SCHOOL REVISITED AND OTHER ESSAYS ON POLITICS AND SOCIETY
by Richard Wolin
(Routledge, $24.95)
While useful as an introduction to and critique of the work of the Frankfurt school of thinkers, Wolin’s true project over the course of these essays is an examination of the continuing validity of the social-democratic project, post-Enlightenment thought and, by extension, an indictment of many un-reflexively radicalized trends in current philosophy. A deft and engaging treatment of difficult and divisive topics.
