Focussing in on key thinkers such as Horkheimer, Adorno, Heidegger, Habermas, Marcuse, Beuys, Enzensberger, Kluge, Sloterdijk and RosaJameson weaves close readings of texts with anecdotes to craft a story about the uses of theory from the postwar division of Germany to its reunification at the end of the Cold War.
