[Critical Theory and Liberal Christianity. The Ideas of the Frankfurt School revisited]
In 1924, the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research was opened, which gave rise to a socialphilosophical movement known as the »Frankfurt School«. The term »critical theory« coined by Max Horkheimer is associated with it as a programmatic motto. In addition to Horkheimer, the first generation of the Frankfurt School included Theodor W. Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, Erich Fromm and Walter Benjamin, while the best-known representative of the second generation is Ju¨rgen Habermas. Although critical theory was initially critical of religion, theological motives later became more important. Last but not least, it is Ju¨rgen Habermas who seeks dialogue with theology, even though he judges himself to be »religiously unmusical«. The 100th anniversary of the Frankfurt School is an opportunity for liberal Christianity to take a new look at its representatives.
