Frankfurt School published Borkenau’s work on the bourgeois mechanistic worldview

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
