:Max Adler (January 15, 1873, Vienna - June 28, 1937, Vienna) was an Austrian legal scholar, politician and philosopher. He was a representative of Austromarxism.

He is well known for his attempt to wed Neo-Kantian philosophical categories to Marxist doctrine; he was involved in a number of polemics concerning the role of the state with (a.o.) Max Weber, Hans Kelsen and Hermann Heller.

In 1919 he became one of the teachers of the "Schönbrunner Kreis". The Vice Mayor of Vienna Max Winter got some rooms in the Viennese castle of Schönbrunn for the education of young women and men, who became later themselves teacher. So Max Adler got the possibility to realize practical educational reforms together with Alfred Adler, Wilhelm Jerusalem, Marianne Pollak, Josef Luitpold Stern and Otto Felix Kanitz.
