About the Author

Martin Jay (PhD, History, Harvard) is Ehrman Professor of European History at the University of California at Berkeley. He is the author of a number of books, including Reason After its Eclipse: On Late Critical Theory (Wisconsin, 2016), Adorno (Harvard, 1984), Marxism and Totality: The Adventures of a Concept from Lukács to Habermas (California, 1984), and The Dialectical Imagination: A History of the Frankfurt School and the Institute of Social Research, 1923-50 (Little Brown, 1973). I chose him for a reader for his interests in critical theory, Marxism, and European intellectual history.
