Review
An anthology of considerable quality.... On Max Horkheimeris an anthology of more than historical interest. Horkheimer was a thinker who asked, even when he failed adequately to answer, questions concerning the intellectual credentials and moral statusof a social theory that aspires to be critical as well as interpretive. These are questions that have lost none of the irrelevance.... Horkheimer remains a figure to be reckoned with.―David Levy, Times Higher Education Supplement
