Who among the following is NOT a member of the Frankfurt School?

Correct option is A

Louis Althusser is not a member of the Frankfurt School. The Frankfurt School was a group of German social theorists and philosophers who were associated with the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The school was founded in 1923 and closed in 1933 by the Nazi regime. The members of the Frankfurt School included Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, Erich Fromm, and Walter Benjamin. Althusser was a French Marxist philosopher who was influenced by the work of Karl Marx and Jacques Lacan. He was a professor of philosophy at the École Normale Supérieure from 1964 to 1985. Althusser's work is complex and challenging, but it has been highly influential in a variety of fields, including philosophy, political science, and literary criticism.
Here are some of Althusser's most important concepts:
• Ideology: Althusser argued that ideology is a system of ideas and beliefs that is used to maintain the power of the ruling class.
• Interpellation: Althusser argued that individuals are interpellated into ideology, meaning that they are taught to accept and reproduce the dominant ideas and beliefs.
• Althusserian Marxism: Althusser's version of Marxism is known as Althusserian Marxism. It is characterized by its emphasis on ideology and interpellation.
Althusser's work has been criticized by some for being too theoretical and abstract. However, his work has also been praised for its originality and insight. Althusser is considered one of the most important Marxist philosophers of the 20th century.
