I have a couple of more installments to write on Horkheimer's "Traditional
and Critical Theory", which is in the main quite admirable, with lacunae to
be addressed later on.
In the meantime, perhaps someone could remind me if there was ever
communication between or even commentary linking Wilhelm Reich to any of
the Frankfurters? Reich's later deterioration into crackpot vitalism is
interesting for the lessons it unintentionally teaches, even though it
doesn't have the positive features of his early work.
