As diversas formas de subjetivação da dominação psíquica, política e ideológica foram objeto da reflexão de Horkheimer e de seus colaboradores, ao longo de um período que correspondeu, aproximadamente, ao da edição da Revista de Pesquisa Social, publicada entre 1932 e 1941. A autoridade foi o tema que vinculou a obra de Horkheimer à de seus colegas no Instituto, nesta tese representados por Fromm, Pollock e Neumann, autores que compreendiam o problema da dominação sob diferentes prismas, e cuja apropriação do marxismo seguia a cada vez um curso próprio.

The aim here is to show how Max Horkheimer, starting from his understanding of contemporary ideology and science, formulated a conception of authority that decisively influenced the authors critical incorporation in his essays of the contributions of those members of the Institute. In assimilating them in his work, Horkheimer modified the structure of their main concepts and gave them new functions, which included the search for emancipation potentials.

(English): In the face of the scandal arising from the persistence of numerous systems of oppression in our time, which ravage and enslave both human beings and other species, often in a cumulative manner: capitalist, patriarchal, racist-colonial, rationalist-ableist and anthropocentrist-productivist systems, the so-called "post-modern" theories fail as well to provide emancipatory analyses and ways out of these systems of domination as do the "traditional Marxist" and classical anarchist theories, because all these theories lack a radical critique of the basic categories of capitalism-patriarchy that only the "value-dissociation critique" offers (at least as far as we are aware of). Since the mid-1980s and with a feminist turn in 1992, first in Germany and then also in Brazil and many other countries, the philosophical current of the "critique of value-dissociation" has been working to rethink a critical theory of patriarchal capitalism based on a radical overcoming of the whole "traditional Marxism". This is done by demonstrating the urgent need to deploy a critique of the basic categories of capitalism, namely work, value, money, commodities, fetishism, patriarchy, and the state; of these categories themselves, and not simply of their phenomenal forms. But how can a critical theory of such power...

Wie wollen wir diese hochgradig komplexe soziale Welt von heute verstehen, in der bald über 7 Mrd. Menschen auf vielerlei verschlungenen Kanälen miteinander kommunizieren und interagieren, ohne über eine brauchbare ‚General Theory‘ des gegenwärtigen globalen sozialen Weltsystems zu verfügen? Wie wollen wir verstehen, wie das soziale Weltsystem mit seiner ökologischen Umwelt interagiert, wenn wir über keine brauchbare universelle Theorie verfügen, die hinlänglich präzise erklären könnte, wie die ‚globalen Zustände‘ zustande kamen und kommen? Adornos legitime Erbin argumentiert wider die vorherrschende Meinung, das grandiose Scheitern des Marxismus-Leninismus habe große historische Welterklärungsversuche ein für alle Mal diskreditiert. Aufbauend auf einer akribischen Kritik Anthony Giddens‘ zeitdiagnostischem Spätwerk, entwirft die vorliegende Untersuchung den Bauplan einer ‚Forschungsplattform Anthropogenes Weltsystem‘, die vielleicht irgendwann tatsächlich leisten kann, woran Kritische Theorie bislang noch immer scheiterte: schrittweise das Verständnis schaffen, das geschaffen werden muss, damit die Menschheit hoffen darf, die über kurz oder lang drohende doppelte soziale und ökologische Krisis des 21.
