<br/><br/> During the Weimar Republic, mathematics provided Gershom Scholem, Franz Rosenzweig, and Siegfried Kracauer - friends and forerunners of the Frankfurt School - with tools to navigate the crises of modernity. This study explores the histories of mathematics at the origin of critical theory and shows the enduring relevance of mathematics for critical thought.
