Max Horkheimer
Max Horkheimer (; ; 14 February 1895 – 7 July 1973) was a German philosopher and
sociologist who was famous for his work in
critical theory as a member of the
Frankfurt School of social research. Horkheimer addressed
authoritarianism, militarism, economic disruption, environmental crisis, and the poverty of
mass culture using the philosophy of history as a framework. This became the foundation of critical theory. His most important works include ''
Eclipse of Reason'' (1947), ''Between Philosophy and Social Science'' (1930–1938) and, in collaboration with
Theodor Adorno, ''
Dialectic of Enlightenment'' (1947). Through the Frankfurt School, Horkheimer planned, supported and made other significant works possible.
