Félix Weil, an Argentine entrepreneur and intellectual of German origin, played a crucial role in the creation of the Frankfurt School, internationally recognized for its contributions to social theory and critical philosophy. In 1923, Weil, along with intellectuals like Georg Lukács and Karl Korsch, founded the Institute for Social Research at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, which led to the Frankfurt School. Weil's financial support, derived from his mother's inheritance, was instrumental in the establishment of the institute. Despite initially embracing Marxist ideas, Weil gradually shifted towards more developmental theories. The rise of Nazism forced the institute to close in 1933, and its members, including Weil, went into exile. The school relocated to Geneva and later to Columbia University in New York, where it studied Nazism and authoritarianism. Weil, who felt more Argentine than German, advocated for industrialization and equitable income distribution in Argentina. After World War II, while some members returned to Germany, Weil settled in California and worked as an officer at military bases. Argentine historian and economist Mario Rapoport, who published 'Bolchevique de salón' based on Weil's life, highlights Weil's social sensitivity and contributions to intellectual development. Weil died of a heart attack in 1975, and his most notable work, 'El Enigma Argentino,' was published in Spanish in Latin America for the first time in 2010.
