This means that every mode of knowing is concerned, and we know only the interest. Thus the basis of Ecuela of Suspicion. Hence Bauman in Modernity and ambivalencia pretend, as well as pointing Wellmer, complement the work undertaken by the leading thinkers of the first generation of the Frankfurt School. Bauman "try wrapping with historical and sociological flesh the skeleton of the Dialectic of Enlightenment". What Bauman gives a particular originality while a filiciación a recognizable and competing philosophical traditions: "first, which originating from Schopenhauer, passes Nietzsche6 to finish reaching Klages and, secondly, that from Hegel, Marx and Weber through, up until the young Lukács".
