First sentence: 'Frankfurt School' and 'Critical Theory': if the terms evoke more than just the idea of a particular paradigm in social science, they will trigger memories of a string of names - starting with Adorno, Horkheimer, Marcuse and Habermas - and associations with the student movement of the 1960s, the 'positivist dispute', the critique of culture - and perhaps also German emigres, the Third Reich, Jews, the Weimar Republic, Marxism and psychoanalysis.
