Adorno proposed relaunching the Institute’s German-language publishing while Horkheimer preferred waiting.

Evidence

Guggenheimer’s view was that as soon as the war was over there would be tremendous interest in German-language publications written by the opponents of Nazism. Adornodelighted with this ideaproposed that Guggenheimer should publish his book on Wagner, as well as a German edition of his Composing for the Films, written in collaboration with Hanns Eisler, and that he should also bring out the continuation of the Institute’s journal. Adorno asked for Horkheimer’s authorization to offer the same publisher their Philosophical Fragments. Nothing came of all this. Horkheimer was far more strongly inclined to wait and see', and it seemed to be symbolic of this attitude when he told Adorno that he had commissioned an American editor, along with a freelance associate of the Institute, Norbert Gutermann, to produce an English book manuscript from his Society and Reason’ lectures in February and March at Columbia, and from various other lectures. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 410
