<P>The portentous terms and phrases associated with the first decades of the Frankfurt School ¿ exile, the dominance of capitalism, fascism ¿ seem as salient today as they were in the early twentieth century. <I>The Routledge Companion to the Frankfurt School</I> addresses the many early concerns of critical theory and brings those concerns into direct engagement with our shared world today. In this volume, a distinguished group of international scholars from a variety of disciplines revisits the philosophical and political contributions of Theodor W. Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Max Horkheimer, Herbert Marcuse, J¿rgen Habermas, Axel Honneth, and others. </P><br/><br/><P>Throughout, the <I>Companion</I>¿s focus is on the major ideas that have made the Frankfurt School such a consequential and enduring movement. It offers a crucial resource for those who are trying to make sense of the global and cultural crisis that has now seized our contemporary world.</P><br/><br/><P></P>
