An addendum written in the midst of decline
Marcuse's short work Counterrevolution and Revolt, written in 1972, has four sections: "The Left Under the Counterrevolution," "Nature and Revolution," "Art and Revolution" and "Conclusion." One must imagine the political situation to which Marcuse addresses the work: ...
  
  











  



  
An Essay on Liberation
Herbert Marcuse

Beacon Press, 1971

H. Marcuse= A modern Day H.D. Thoreau
A RESPONSE TO "Liberation from the Affluent Society" My first impression of Herbert Marcuse' speech was the title. Upon reading it I thought why would anyone want to be liberated from an affluent society? It seemed rather odd to me that anyone would want to be freed ...
  
  











  



  
The Aesthetic Dimension: Toward A Critique of Marxist Aesthetics
Herbert Marcuse

Beacon Press, 1979

pithy and to the point
Herbert Marcuse, original member of the so-called 'Frankfurt School', here presents a critique of Marxist aesthetics in one of his last books. Although only 72 pages long, the book is powerful in its argument against the orthodox Marxist view that 'art represents ...
  
  











  



  
Reason and Revolution : Hegel and the Rise of Social Theory
Herbert Marcuse

Humanity Books, 1999

"Dr. Marcuse's book deserves a warm welcome. It is the first coherent and sympathetic account in English for many years past of what a great and original thinker set out to do." -- The Times Literary Supplement It is of the very definition of any "classic" work that it not only introduce a new depth and direction of thought, but that its ...
  
  











  



  
Eros and Civilization : A Philosophical Inquiry into Freud
Herbert Marcuse

Beacon Press, 1974

Indispensable reading
Marcuse's attempt to combine Marx and Freud, and his vision of a non-repressive civilization (as well as his views on phantasies, art, myths and even perversions as anticipiations of such a society) is one of the masterpieces of utopian thought. After reading it your ...

One-Dimensional Man: Studies in the Ideology of Advanced Industrial Society
Herbert Marcuse

Beacon Press, 1991

When We Dead Awake
By pure chance I found an old, tattered copy of this in a used book shop many years ago. I still recall the bizarre sensation of realizing that someone else, much older than me and way ahead of my own experiences, had expressed so accurately, so vividly, a view of ...
  
  











  



  
A Study on Authority (Radical Thinkers)
Herbert Marcuse

Verso, 2008

Historical Survey of Political Authority
One of the earliest in the line of leftish psychoanalytic philosophers, Marcuse remains underappreciated in the modern canon. Though this slim volume doesn't rank among his masterworks, and can be considered less than absolutely essential in a way that Eros and ...

Marcuse embodied many of the defining political impulses of the New Left in his thought and politics - hence a younger generation of political activists looked up to him for theoretical and political guidance.

Technology, War and Fascism: Collected Papers of Herbert Marcuse
Herbert Marcuse

Routledge, 1998

Relevant and interesting early work
Marcuse was retained by the United States Office of War Information and later the Office of Strategic Services (the precursor of the CIA) because of his insight into German society. His insights are attractive to this nonsociologist. Although Lady Thatcher, who seems ...
