Horkheimer authored the Institute’s report only when its American reception mattered

Evidence

Horkheimer did not intend to appear in the book himself as one of the authors. He saw himself as having a more important task, the development of dialectical logic. But in the end he wrote the general theoretical section himself after all, probably because the significance of the Institute’s first research report for its image in the New World had become clear to him. He wrote the section on the basic assumption that he was discussing `a number of categories the true place of which is really in logic’. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 170
