Horkheimer and Adorno anchored their critiques in different measures, transcendent ideas versus the non-identical

Evidence

Where Adorno made what was unrestricted and non-identical the measure of his critique, Horkheimer referred to ideas which pointed beyond given realities, to contemplations which raised themselves above self-interest and expediency, to love as it was symbolized by Romeo and Juliet, to the image glimpsed between imagination and memory of an economically independent, responsible and thoughtful citizen. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 336
