This institute was named ''‘the Institute for social research''’ (In German: ''Institut für Sozialforschung''). Later it would become known simply as the Frankfurt school. These new Marxists under the direction of '''Max Horkheimer''' had seen the old [[Lenin]] Marxists fail in their attempt to win the so called ''“[[working class]]”'' in the [[Western civilization|West]]: The workers of the world did not unite in [[WW I]]. Further, these new Marxists believed the reason has been found by their comrade [[Antonio Gramsci]], who wrote in his ''Prison notebooks,'' a blueprint to de-Christianize the west, that Marxism could only flourish after ''a long march through the cultural institutions'', i.e. institutions like academies, seminaries, newspapers, magazines, radio, film, and what is now known as TV and mass media. | | In 1923, members and sympathizers of the [[Marxist]] [[communist party]] Friedrich Pollock, Max Horkheimer, and Carl Grünberg set up an institute at Frankfurt University in [[Weimar]] [[Germany]].

| | + | Marcuse later expressed his radical ideas through three pieces of writing. He wrote ''An Essay on Liberation'' in 1969, in which he celebrated so0called "[[national liberation movement]]s" such as that of the [[Viet Cong]], which inspired many radicals. In 1972 he wrote ''Counterrevolution and Revolt'', which argues that the hopes of the 1960s were facing a counterrevolution from the right. He published his final work ''The Aesthetic Dimension'' in 1979 on the role of art in the process of what he termed "emancipation" from "[[bourgeois]]" society. |
