이성과 현실 사이 = 초기 프랑크푸르트학파 비판 이론에서 변증법의 역할

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The Frankfurt School occupies an often confusing place in contemporary political theory. One problem concerns the relationship of Frankfurt School theory to Marxism. On the one hand, the Frankfurt School is often seen as continuous with an older Marxist tradition of thought that still retains a faith in revolutionary praxis. On the other hand, it is often seen as the forerunner of a revisionism that radically altered traditional Marxist categories. A second problem concerns the relationship of two different strands of Frankfurt School theory. On the one hand, Herbert Marcuse is seen as still believing in revolutionary praxis, and theory's role in that praxis, well into the 1970s. On the other hand, Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer are often seen as having given up on the possibility of radical change. In this paper, I will argue that these enigmas can only adequately be resolved by understanding the way in which the early Frankfurt School understood the dialectical method.
