Max Horkheimer's Critical Theory of Religion: The Meaning of Religion in the Struggle for Human Emancipation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780761821212)

Over the past thirty years much has been written about the critical theory of society that was produced by a small group of left-wing Hegelians in the Institute of Social Research in Frankfurt am Main, Germany and in the United States. This book seeks to make a contribution to the continued development of the critical theory of society and religion as it offers a corrective to the one-sided, positivistic development of the modern social sciences as well as to the increasing social irrelevancy of the contemporary Christian church. Max Horkheimer's Critical Theory of Religion is a content analysis of the critical theory of religion of Max Horkheimer, which was developed throughout almost all of his writings and later interviews from 1926 to 1973, the year of his death.
