6 Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno, Dialectic of Enlightenment: Philosophical Fragments, ed. Gunzelin Schmid Noerr, trans. Edmund Jephcott (Stanford University Press, 2002), preface to 1944/1947, pp. xiv–xix; PDF pp. 15–20. Culture-industry chapter pp. 94–97; PDF pp. 115–118. The inspected copy has annotations and damaged OCR on some chapter pages; the argument here also appears in the clean preface. The 1969 preface distinguishes later views from the wartime text. The editor's afterword, p. 217/PDF p. 238, identifies the limited 1944 typescript and 1947 printed edition; this publication history is a scholarly editorial account.
