Horkheimer Max QUOTES

  • Philosophy is overwhelmingly complicated, its procedure depressingly slow.

  • Pragmatism reflects a society that has no time to remember and meditate.

  • Well-informed cynicism is only another mode of conformity.

  • The self, entirely encompassed by civilization, is dissolved in an element composed of the very inhumanity which civilization has sought from the first to escape.



  • The development of the proletarian elite does not take place in an academic setting. Rather, it is brought about by battles in the factories and unions, by disciplinary punishments and some very dirty fights within the parties and outside of them, by jail sentences and illegality.
