Theorists republish their work chiefly when piracy threatens authorial control.

Evidence

Just as annoyance over pirated editions of History and Class Consciousness had caused Lukács to republish it, however, Horkheimer too was provoked by irritation with pirated editions into reprinting his ZfS articles, after the German translation of Eclipse of Reason had come out in 1967. He did this for purposes of documentation, and prefaced the articles with a foreword reminding present-day youth' that To protect, preserve, and, where possible, extend the limited and ephemeral freedom of the individual in the face of the growing threat to it is far more urgent a task than to issue abstract denunciations of it or to endanger it by actions that have no hope of success.’ — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 659
