x_losAbout a week ago Theories of Literary Criticism: Selfhood had me read a bit of Adorno and Horkheimer's (aka The Frankfurt School) Dialectics of Enlightenment, and I was in love with them and resolved to buy the book in total this summer, read through it, and consider whether I was academically meant for critical theory.
No wonder I loved Frankfurt School (aka Institute for Social Research) so much. I was just wikipedia-ing Fromm, my all time favorite --what WOULD I call Fromm? Going to go with-- humanistic philosopher/psychoanalytical thinker, and apparently he and The Frankfurt School was homies back in the dizzle, and Fromm was a founding member. So I like the Adorno/Horkheimer critical theory of society because it comes from the same welding of Freudian/Marxist/existentialist crap as does my man Fromm. And squee on all of this.
On a sad note, I can't find Fromm's Escape from Freedom. I was looking for it to quote in a paper today. This is troubling, as the book is quite possibly my favorite, along with All the King's Men, and for poetry Sappho or Millay. I got it for Christmas, along with his Art of Loving, and I brought it up here. Now where the fuck is it?
