Even though the rise of National Socialism implied a tragic outcome, during the fifteen years of the Weimar Republic outstanding figures such as Paul Natorp, Theodor Litt, Max Weber, and Georg Simmel had a great influence on a part of the youth movements. They greatly contributed to the intellectual and cultural training of two of the most representative theorists of the Frankfurt School, Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno. %K Bildung %K Social Crisis %K Authoritarian Education %K Critical Theory %K Cultural Growth %U http://www.topologik.net/Gianluca_Giachery_Topologik_11.pdf
