Each writer in the Frankfurt school of critical sociology stressed different aspects of a utopian vision. Three examples of their work from the period of their exile in the United States are examined to reveal these differences: E. FROMM, Escape from Freedom, New York: Avon, 1941; H. Marcuse, Reason and Revolution, Boston: Beacon, 1941; and M. Horkheimer and T. W. Adorno, Dialectic of Enlightenment, New York: Herder and Herder, 1972. The Frankfurt school hoped to reconcile man and nature in a dialectical relationship, but was unable to communicate this need on a mass basis to their society. Reasons for their failure can be understood by examining a model of successful communication at this level. Aeschylus's The Oresteia (Lattimore, R. Trans, New York: Washington Square Press, 1967) provides such a model, and offers a comparison for the Frankfurt school. The play reveals man's need to harness nature for the betterment of society. The existing polis of Aeschylus's time represented his expression of the new order of rationality, and made it simpler to express abstract ideas, unlike the critical theorist who needed to create a means of expressing abstract ideas. Only a limited medium--the press--was available to the Frankfurt school. The writing styles of the critical theorists are discussed.
Kobori Sohaku is one of the few Zen Masters in all history charged with responsibility to communicate the insights of Zen to Westerners. An interview with Koborisan revealed: (1) westerners have not understood that yes and no are one; (2) Zen cannot be understood by reading only; one must use the third eye of religion; (3) psychology, especially FROMM and Jung, is more important for understanding Zen than art, literature or philosophy; and (4) to understand Zen, sitting (zazen, meditation) must be added to reading.

E. FROMM (1947, 1955) has described each of 4 personality orientations (Receptive, Exploitative, Hoarding, and Marketing) by a list of adjectives. The present experiment investigated whether these adjectives have a reasonable degree of cohesiveness to constitute one orientation. 92 male and female university students were asked to check adjectives on FROMM's list that applied to them. Adjectives were alphabetically presented. The average intercorrelation among adjectives comprising each orientation was calculated and compared with average intercorrelations for 1,000 randomly selected combinations of adjectives. FROMM's orientations obtained high percentile ranks compared to simulated combinations. Adjective combinations were then chosen on the basis of factor analysis of half the data. The factor analytic combinations were also compared with 1,000 simulated combinations. Percentile ranks of FROMM's combinations were similar to those obtained by factor analytical combinations. FROMM's descriptions of personality orientations are seen to have a reasonable degree of cohesiveness, especially the Exploitative and Marketing orientations.
