I wouldn't say so. No one in the Frankfurt School tried to put forward a coherent epistemology apart from Adorno; he really is on his own here, generally. The key text is Negative Dialectics, but its a total headache (not in a bad way). But his lecture series are... how should I put it... more intersubjective.
