It is of the very definition of any "classic" work that it will not
only introduce a new depth and direction of thought, but that its
original insights endure. When it first appeared in 1940, Reason
and Revolution by Herbert Marcuse (1898-1979) was acclaimed for its
profound and undistorted reading of Hegel's social and political
theory. Today, the appreciation of Marcuse's work has remained
high, more relevant now than ever before.
In the rapidly changing context of post-Cold War political
realities, there is no better guide than Marcuse to where we have
been and to what we might expect. As he well understood, turbulent
and spectacular political events always ran within channels earlier
set by political theory; and he equally understood that it was
Hegel's often unappreciated and misunderstood theory which actually
set a fundamental path of modern political life.
It is a fortunate combination to have a scholar of Marcuse's
brilliance and lucid honesty addressing the sources and
consequences of Hegel's social theory.
