The Terms of Cultural Criticism: The Frankfurt School,
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wolin, Richard, PUBLISHER: Columbia University Press, Despite their differences in origin, the three influential schools of twentieth-century continental cultural criticism----the Frankfurt School, existentialism, and poststructuralism----have long been treated as an ensemble and with critical hesitancy. Examining these schools as responses to the apparent collapse of Western civilization in the twentieth-century and as formidable intellectual challenges to the cultural legacies of the Enlightenment, this book provides a productive base for criticism and broadens our understanding of their histories and reception.
