Description
Summary:The author examines the views of several theorists associated with the Frankfurt School of Social Research on the subject of the authoritarian character. Attention is given first to differing assessments of the contribution of the patriarchal family to morality and individuality. Conflicting views of the Protestant conscience are then examined. The conclusion is drawn that the Frankfurt theorists differ significantly in their evaluations of patriarchal morality and religion, and in their approaches to matriarchy as an alternative pattern.
