Marxisms after Marx: The critical thinking of the Frankfurt School

Abstract

The foundation of the social research institute in 1922 overturned the Marxist thought that was being constructed. Felix Weil, a German-Argentinian youth and other intellectuals, among them: Habermas, Adorno, and Horkheimer, seek to reinterpret Marxism and take it out of the dogma that was being counstructed in the Soviet Union. As a result, they decide to approach a series of topics around the criticism to the Irrationality of the Capitalist society, retaking new elements of the Marxist theory, which were not approached by Marx and Engels and which were necessary to understand the dynamics of the society of the time. These ways of thinking complement the vision of two intellectuals known to the School of Frankfurt, and Habermas. Based on this, a comparison between the Salvadoran reality in some hypothesis held by some thinkers and the one developed by some Salvadorans particularly has been carried out.
