Brief von Max Horkheimer an Paul Tillich vom 05. Januar 1942

5 January 5, 1942.

Dear friends,

This is only to tell you that we both hope that our friendship will grow during this new year the ones to come, as it has over so many years of the past. On the very stroke of midnight New Year's Eve your names were on our lips.

Thanks, Paulus, so much for your kind lines of December 6. Fred, who will unfortunately have to leave us on Thursday, will tell you about our life here. In the next few weeks I shall be completing the article on reason and after that I have to write a short study on the sociology of art. Only in February will Teddy and I start with our joint work. In the meantime I hope to let you have some remarks on reason and revelation which of course has been especially interesting to me during my studies on reason.

I received the article on war time today and I shall read it soon.

There were several earthquakes during the last few months but they haven't done any harm to us. We hope they will be followed by social and political earthquakes in the rest of the world which will do harm to the forces of evil there.

Maidon was very happy for Hannah's letterand wants to thank her most heartily. She is at present indisposed because she took advantage of the one and only blackout in Los Angeles to fall and tear a ligament in her right arm. She didn't take proper care of it at all during the first few days and a bad neuralgia has developed. She wants me to tell Hannah that we had a tiny Christmas tree while everybody else had a big one. The days around Christmas were warm at noon and rather cool at night, about the same as on the Riviera. Maidon hopes that she will be able to write very soon.

Special greetings to our poet, Erdmuthe. We enjoyed all the poems. The philosopher wants to make only one very small remark. He is a little doubtful about the contentment of the cow. He always suspected that the happiness of animals is shorter and darker than that of humans and that their fear and anguish is ever latent and without hope. But this doubt is as tiny as our Christmas tree was.

With our fondest regards to you both,
Most cordially,

Dr. and Mrs. Tillich
