Page text is plagarised from reference.com?
the section on horkheimer's eclipse of reason is copied from http://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Max_Horkheimer change this!?


 * Nope. Look at the bottom of the reference.com page; it states clearly "Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia © 2001-2006 Wikipedia contributors (Disclaimer)". Reference.com is a Wikipedia mirror. Taragüí @ 10:19, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Chicago
"He would return to America between 1954 and 1959 to lecture at Chicago." I take it this is the University of Chicago? I was going to put a link but wasn't sure. Eric 10:00, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

Spelling
Any insight into the alternative spellings, Horkheimer vs. Horckheimer? 194.81.30.241 10:39, 21 September 2005 (UTC)Jethro brice, 11.35 21.09.05 Glasgow
 * Horkheimer, to the best of my knowledge, never spelled his name otherwise. The "c" must be a folk Americanisation. Taragüí @ 10:19, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

critical theory?
How odd that the word 'Marxism' never appears in this article about a major Marxist theoretician! See Bobbitt, The Shield of Achilles, pp. 602-604.

Critical theory: the theory that dare not speak its name!

Cultural marxist?
As a member of the Frankfurt School, Horkheimer is clearly a Cultural Marxist. Although saying his work encompassed critical theory may make his position clear to academics, pointing out that he was a Cultural Marxist in the introduction would make things clearer for non-academic readers. Any thoughts?Bobbythemazarin (talk) 06:27, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Photo confusion in hyperlink thumbnail
On the English-language Max Horkheimer page, the hyperlink to "Friedrich Pollock" works properly, but the pop-up thumbnail that appears when hovering over the link is confusing. Namely, the photo that appears in the thumbnail shows two gentlemen (in the foreground), neither of whom is Friedrich Pollock, I believe. Also on the Max Horkheimer page is a hyperlink to the "Theodor Adorno" page. If you compare the photo that appears in the Theodor Adorno thumbnail to that in the Friedrich Pollock thumbnail, you will see that the two gentlemen in the Pollock thumbnail are, in fact, Horkheimer and Adorno. The problem appears to stem from the fact that the "lead" photo on the Pollock page is actually associated with the "Frankfort School" article. The result is that if you're on the Horkheimer page and you hover over the Pollock hyperlink, you see a photo of Horkheimer shaking hands with another gentleman ... who is *not* Friedrich Pollock. (I think. I actually have no independent knowledge of what any of these three gentlemen looks like!) Wbforbes (talk) 19:15, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
