'''Max Horkheimer''' ([[February 14]], [[1895]] – [[July 7]], [[1973]]) was a Jewish-German philosopher and sociologist, known especially as the founder and guiding thinker of the [[Frankfurt School]] of [[critical theory]].

Writing in 1946, Horkheimer was strongly influenced by the Nazi legacy in Germany. He outlined how the Nazis had been able to make their agenda appear "reasonable", but also issued a warning about the possibility of this happening again. Horkheimer believed that the ills of modern society are caused by the misuse and misunderstanding of reason: if people use true reason to critique their societies, they will be able to identify and solve their problems.
