alright going to try this again as well because i promised a comrade—does anyone have a PDF scan or institutional access to Bände 8-9 of the Korsch Gesamtausgabe? Would love to read letters he exchanges with Horkheimer in the late 30s about the Spanish Civil War, counterrevolution, & positivism!

the full series of seven discussions Horkheimer & Adorno had in January, 1939—focusing on the concept of the individual in Marx, Hegel, Freud, Kant, Hume, Heidegger, Caillois, the Oedipus myth, & more—that would lead to Dialectic of Enlightenment!

Translated a few letters from Korsch to Horkheimer in 38/39, & one from Horkheimer in reply, on their planned collaboration on the “dialectics” book (that would become Dialectic of Enlightenment) re: problems of positivism & politics!
