| Abstract | "Martin Jay reflects on the Frankfurt School's legacy, turning the school's practice of "immanent critique" in on itself, applying critical pressure on a number of its own ideas to probe for their contradictory impulses. He unearths and examines the pathologization of political deviance through stigmatizing "authoritarian personalities," the undefended theological premises of Walter Benjamin's work, and the ambivalence of its members' analyses of anti-Semitism and Zionism. Additional questions include the advocacy of a politics based on a singular notion of the truth"-- Provided by publisher. |
