history

The first year (1932) was published by CL Hirschfeld Verlag in Leipzig. After the institute was closed by the National Socialists, years 2 to 7 (1933–1938) were published by Librairie Felix Alcan in Paris and the last two years 8 and 9 (1939/40 and 1941/42) under the English title Studies in Philosophy and Social Science self-published in New York City.

In the foreword to the first volume, Horkheimer names "the theory of the present society" and its historical and future course as the "unifying principle" of the published "theoretical treatises on philosophical, psychological, economic, sociological problems".
