Editorial Review: Product Description: The Frankfurt School of philosophers, aestheticians, sociologists, and political scientists (including Theodore W. Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Max Horkheimer, Erich Fromm, and Herbert Marcuse) represents one of the most interesting and unique intellectual events of the twentieth century. Editors Arato and Gebhardt offer major introductions to the three sections that comprise the Reader, in which they seek to place to historical development of the School's thought and to deonstrate its complexity, while investigating its influence on various disciplines. Paul Piccone has written the General Introduction. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Flawed, but best collection availableThere are, surprisingly, few solid collections of the Frankfurt School out there. This is unfortunate, since often the essays produced by these thinkers are more useful to the general reader--even a general academic reader--than the longer works. And, unfortunately, none of them are very satisfying. All of these collections lack essential essays, and all of them include numerous throw-aways that are unimportant or unuseful. And none of them have particularly helpful introductions for the uninitiated. ... Read More Rating: - Excellent, but not as an introductionThis book was my first exploration into the Frankfurt School; although it immediately struck a chord within me, I was unprepared for the scholarly vocabularly (classic sociology, etc.) expected of the reader. Advice to the bold, impetuous novice: if you read this book, begin with the essays themselves, not the editors' introductions.
