Origin Myths in the Social Sciences: Fromm, the Frankfurt School and the Emergence of Critical Theory An essay which discusses Fromm's influence on early critical theory as a member of the Frankfurt School in the late 20's and early 30's, and his subsequent disappearance from the"official" history of the Frankfurt School after his break with the Institute for Social Research. Fromm was a major influence on Horkhimer's early work.
