Frankfurter Schule
Social norms, manifested in institutions and orders, form the foundation of our social and political coexistence. In the first half of the 20th century, the so-called Frankfurt School set out to take a holistic and (ideologically) critical look at these norms and their contradictions in the sense of a comprehensive “critical theory” – an approach whose significance and international impact remain unbroken to this day. But what does the Frankfurt School, which has always combined social analysis with ideological criticism, have to say about the current state of society? What answers does the so-called “third and fourth generation” provide to global crises and conflicts?
The “Frankfurt School” series will continue on a quarterly basis in various cultural institutions in Frankfurt. Guests are personalities who – trained in “Frankfurt thinking” – take a stand on current problems.
