Re: war crimes and FS



I have recently ploughed my way through the archival record of Franz
neumann's contributiuon with the OSS (along with Marcuse and Kirchheimer) to
the nuremberg war crimes trials, and have just read a short essay by
Horkheimer on the Eichmann trial. If ever there was a topic giving good
reasons for preferring the Neumann / Kirchheimer side of the FS to that of
Adorno/Horkheimer, this I think is it. Whilst Neumann et al were contributing
towards Nuremberg, with Neumann first chief of research for the IMT at
Nuremberg, A&H were in california writing a would-be book on dialectics - but
which side of the FS were closer to a dialectical relationship between theory
and practice on this issue?
