Given the Frankfurt School's influence on social theory, as well as its frequent mention among popular radio-show hosts, I thought it appropriate to include some resources that could help one acquire a better understanding of the men and the movement. The most notable members of this school of philosophy are, of course, Theodor Adorno (1903-1969), Herbert Marcuse (1898-1979), Max Horkheimer (1895-1973), Erich Fromm (1900-1980), Friedrich Pollock (1894-1970), Leo Löwenthal (1900-1993), Jürgen Habermas (b. 1929) and Claus Offe (b. 1940).
