[FRA:] One last thing about Dialectic of Enlightenment?

[simon smith]

I happened to come across a strange thing here:
http://www.ucpress.edu/books/pages/9275/9275.intro.html

Footnote 70 to a review of the recent "Essays on Music":

"On the specifics of the Horkheimer-Adorno collaboration, see James 
Schmidt, "Language, Mythology, and Enlightenment: Historical Notes on 
Horkheimer and Adorno's Dialectic of Enlightenment," Social Research 65 
no. 4 (1998), pp. 807-38, including a comparison between the 
mimeographed first version and final published text,
* as well as background concerning a planned but never realized 
companion volume that would have served as a "positive theory of 
dialectics" explaining how, in Horkheimer's words, the "{ths}'rescue of 
the enlightenment' might be accomplished" (p. 811)*"

(Emphasis mine of course.)
(This is new to me. The article sounds itself very interesting anyway 
but I have no library access to this edition of the journal, so I'll 
have to order it.)
