Studies on Authority and Family
Studies on Authority and Family is a joint effort by the Institute for Social Research , which was published as an anthology in 1936 in Paris. It contains the following dedication: “The Institute dedicates its first report on joint research to FELIX WEIL , the faithful friend”. Max Horkheimer , Erich Fromm and Herbert Marcuse were among the numerous and mostly emigrated authors who can be classified as critical theory . Your theoretical contributions form the first section : “General Part” (Horkheimer); “Social psychological part” (Fromm); “Part of the history of ideas” (Marcuse). Introduced by Erich Fromm, the results of empirical surveys (among workers and employees, on sexual morality, etc.) are communicated in the second section . The third section contains individual studies and literature reports by, among others, Karl A. Wittfogel (economic history foundations of the development of family authority), Paul Honigsheim (materials on the relationship between family and antisociality of young people), Kurt Goldstein (remarks on the importance of biology for sociology, on the occasion of the problem of authority), Marie Jahoda (authority and education in the family, school and youth movement in Austria) and Hans Mayer (authority and family in the theory of anarchism). The sociologist and later leading historian Alfred Meusel also contributed to this work. Rolf Wiggershaus describes the work as a "fragment of a collective work in progress".
