Eros and Civilization

…He studied Hegel from a unique perspective that combined the influence of Husserl and Heidegger with Marxism, and in 1932 he joined the Frankfurt School of Social Research, which was the center of critical Marxist research and was led by Horkheimer and others. After the Nazis took power, he fled to the United States (naturalized in 1940) and continued his research activities from an anti-fascist standpoint.
