Who were the Frankfurt School—Benjamin, Adorno, Marcuse, Horkheimer—and why do they matter today?
In 1923, a group of young radical German thinkers and intellectuals came together to at Victoria Alle 7, Frankfurt, determined to explain the workings of the modern world. Among the most prominent members of what became the Frankfurt School were the philosophers Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, and Herbert Marcuse. Not only would they change the way we think, but also the subjects we deem worthy of intellectual investigation. Their lives, like their ideas, profoundly, sometimes tragically, reflected and shaped the shattering events of the twentieth century.
Grand Hotel Abyss combines biography, philosophy, and storytelling to reveal how the Frankfurt thinkers gathered in hopes of understanding the politics of culture during the rise of fascism. Some of them, forced to escape the horrors of Nazi Germany, later found exile in the United States. Benjamin, with his last great work—the incomplete Arcades Project—in his suitcase, was arrested in Spain and committed suicide when threatened with deportation to Nazi-occupied France. On the other side of the Atlantic, Adorno failed in his bid to become a Hollywood screenwriter, denounced jazz, and even met Charlie Chaplin in Malibu.
After the war, there was a resurgence of interest in the School. From the relative comfort of sun-drenched California, Herbert Marcuse wrote the classic One Dimensional Man, which influenced the 1960s counterculture and thinkers such as Angela Davis; while in a tragic coda, Adorno died from a heart attack following confrontations with student radicals in Berlin.
By taking popular culture seriously as an object of study—whether it was film, music, ideas, or consumerism—the Frankfurt School elaborated upon the nature and crisis of our mass-produced, mechanised society. Grand Hotel Abyss shows how much these ideas still tell us about our age of social media and runaway consumption.

评分作为法兰克福学派群像其实相当不错,生平细节和理论也比较平衡(基本上讲得明白,不说讲透了但我觉得对大家把握都挺到位的)个人感觉上和存在主义咖啡厅是一种,当当闲书看很好,作者是英国人,幽默感好评。
评分相当客观翔实的法兰克福学派入门书
评分虽然比较厚但很好读,语言很流畅,叙事也不错,不那么艰深,算是面向一般读者的读物。作者把法兰克福学派的历史、几个重要学者的思想贯穿的很好。从1920年写到60年代,最后一章写到到21世纪法兰克福学派的影响。作者对这些人物抱有很大的同情,他们的人生故事很多令人唏嘘。同时对学派的思想的评价总的来说算客观,没有很滥情。对于想要了解法兰克福学派的历史和思想的一般大众来说,这本书是值得推荐的~
