| Abstract | ||
| The identification of the thought and philosophy of the textual configuration in the modern German criticism leads us directly to contemplate the concept and identity of the text and the critical theory for the poles of Frankfort criticism school and its pioneers. This school (according to my assessment is the leading basis of the text theory of the ideological modern German criticism) has become the backbone of many critical theories, trends and writings of the post-modernism, particularly philosophy, sociology, psychology, anthropology, literature, criticism, criticism of criticism, fine arts, and music. Therefore, this paper investigates and follow-up the formation of the modern German criticism theory which includes a complex concept of the text the features of which have been shown by the intelligentsia which touches the critical configuration according to modern philosophical and cultural background. The paper investigates the sources of the theory; the concept of the text, the development overlapping courses and set before the receiver a clear vision its own understanding of the creative text, including all its philosophical, thought and socio-cultural appearances as well. The paper will try to clarify the complex relations of its early pioneers, especially their relations to the Hegel and Marx philosophies and to the putative ones on the one hand and to the youth and student movement which burst up in the mid 1960s on the other hand. The paper opens before the professional reader a procedural brief of the critical theory which has established the identity of the creative and artistic text which appears in its thought, philosophical and social dimensions, its effect on the development of the social thinking, the social, cultural and political movements in the west which distinguishes it from the other philosophical and social theories. The paper tackles the most important problems it faces during its long march, how the concept of the text configured within the frames of the modern critical and philosophical theories. In spite of the fact that the majority of its senior figures died, its philosophical and critical social thoughts are still alive. This indicates its vitality, zeal, and effect are valid. They represent an extraordinary generation whose time passed distinctively and extraordinary as well. | ||
