Hailed as the 'Guru of the New Left' and a leading figure of 1960s
counterculture and liberation movements, the philosopher Herbert
Marcuse is amongst the most renowned and controversial thinkers of
the twentieth century. Eros and Civilization is one of his
best-known books and brought him international fame. Taking his cue
from Freud's view that repression of the instincts is a defining
characteristic of the human mind, Marcuse fuses Freud's insight
with Marx's theories of alienation and oppression. He argues that
rather than our instincts turned in on themselves, it is modern
capitalism itself that is preventing us from reaching the freedom
we can find in a non-repressive society. A sweeping indictment of
modern capitalism and consumerism that remains fresh and
insightful, Eros and Civilization is a classic of activist and
radical thinking that continues to fire debate and controversy
today. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by
Douglas Kellner.
