Frankfurt School

Frankfurt Socialism is an economically and culturally left, Marxist ideology based off The Frankfurt School and theorists associated with it. The Frankfurt School is a sociological-philosophical school of Neo-Marxist  orientation. The original nucleus of this school, made up mostly of German philosophers and sociologists, emerged in 1923 in the environment of the newborn "Institute for Social Research" of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University of Frankfurt am Main In Germany, under the leadership of the  Marxist historian Carl Grünberg.

When Hitler came to power the Frankfurt School was  put in exile. 16 Years later the Frankfurt School would come back, the institute moved to Geneva ( in Switzerland). The Frankfurt school perspective is based upon  Marxist, Freudian and Hegelian premises of Idealism. To fill the omissions of 19th-century classical Marxism, which did not address 20th-century social problems, they applied the methods of antipositivist sociology, of psychoanalysis, and of existentialism. While some  theorists of the institute remained in the  USA, the  Frankfurt  School was re-established in West Germany, Frankfurt.
