Borkenau’s sociology of the mechanistic worldview first appeared as an Institute-funded journal article

Evidence

The most important of the remaining contributions to the first volume of the journal was Franz Borkenau’s article on The Sociology of the Mechanistic World-View'. It was an extract from the book on The Transition from the Feudal to the Bourgeois World-View: Studies in the History of Philosophy in the Period of Manufacture, which he had written as an Institute scholarship holder. Borkenau came from a Viennese half-Jewish’ upper-class family, and had been a member of the German Communist Party from 1921 on, becoming national leader of the Red Student League (Roter Studentenbund) in the mid-1920s. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 504 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
