The Frankfurt School was founded in 1924 as the Institute for Social Research at the University of Frankfurt am Main. Its members included some of the most prominent intellectuals of the time, such as Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, and Jürgen Habermas. The Frankfurt School's work was deeply influenced by Marxism, but it also drew on psychoanalysis, sociology, and other disciplines. The Frankfurt School's scholars were particularly interested in the relationship between culture and society, and they sought to develop a critical theory of society that could explain the rise of fascism and other forms of oppression.

The Frankfurt School's work has had a profound impact on social and political thought. Its members have helped to shape our understanding of the relationship between capitalism and democracy, the role of culture in society, and the nature of human nature. The Frankfurt School's work continues to be relevant today, as we face new challenges such as global inequality, climate change, and the rise of right-wing populism.

The Routledge Companion to the Frankfurt School is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of ideas, social theory, or political thought. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of the Frankfurt School's philosophy and legacy, and it will be an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and anyone else interested in this important intellectual movement.
