Foucault conceded the Frankfurt School had anticipated his project

Evidence

For me there was never a consistent theory. Adorno wrote essays on the critique of culture and also gave seminars on Hegel. He presented a certain Marxist backgroundand that was it. … This was how Jürgen Habermas, Adorno’s research assistant at the Institute in the later 1950s, saw things in retrospect. When the image of a school' did appear in the 1960s, it was a mixture of the idea of a critical sociology represented in Frankfurt by Adorno and Habermas, and the idea of an early, radically social-critical, FreudianMarxist period of the Institute under Horkheimer's direction. — <cite>Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 10</cite> (#expands`, via linked claim)
