One of the most important texts of modern times, Herbert Marcuse's
analysis and image of a one-dimensional man in a one-dimensional
society has shaped many young radicals' way of seeing and
experiencing life. Published in 1964, it fast became an ideological
bible for the emergent New Left. As Douglas Kellner notes in his
introduction, Marcuse's greatest work was a 'damning indictment of
contemporary Western societies, capitalist and communist.' Yet it
also expressed the hopes of a radical philosopher that human
freedom and happiness could be greatly expanded beyond the
regimented thought and behaviour prevalent in established society.
For those who held the reigns of power Marcuse's call to arms
threatened civilization to its very core. For many others however,
it represented a freedom hitherto unimaginable.
