A must read for those interested in critical theory and the Frankfurt School

Critical Theory: Selected Essays by Horkheimer is a brilliant insight into the Institute for Social Research and provides the reader with a comparison to Dialectic and Enlightenment for authorship differences between Horkheimer and Adorno. Horkheimer is a bit more (or alot more) approachable than Adorno and Critical Theory supplies much useful information on where the School was headed and its theoretical foundations. I highly recommend this book.
