This collection assembles some of Herbert Marcuse's most important
work and presents for the first time his responses to and
development of classic Marxist approaches to revolution and utopia,
as well as his own theoretical and political perspectives. This
sixth and final volume of Marcuse's collected papers shows
Marcuse's rejection of the prevailing twentieth-century Marxist
theory and socialist practice - which he saw as inadequate for a
thorough critique of Western and Soviet bureaucracy - and the
development of his revolutionary thought towards a critique of the
consumer society. Marcuse's later philosophical perspectives on
technology, ecology, and human emancipation sat at odds with many
of the classic tenets of Marx's materialist dialectic which placed
the working class as the central agent of change in capitalist
societies. As the material from this volume shows, Marcuse was not
only a theorist of Marxist thought and practice in the twentieth
century, but also proves to be an essential thinker for
understanding the neoliberal phase of capitalism and resistance in
the twenty-first century. A comprehensive introduction by Douglas
Kellner and Clayton Pierce places Marcuse's philosophy in the
context of his engagement with the main currents of twentieth
century philosophy while also providing important analyses of his
anticipatory theorization of capitalist development through a
neoliberal restructuring of society. The volume concludes with an
afterword by Peter Marcuse.
Edited by Douglas Kellner and Clayton Pierce, Philosophy,
Psychoanalysis and Emancipation is the fifth volume of Herbert
Marcuse's collected papers. Containing some of Marcuse's most
important work, this book presents for the first time his unique
syntheses of philosophy, psychoanalysis, and critical social
theory, directed toward human emancipation and social
transformation. Within philosophy, Marcuse engaged with disparate
and often conflicting philosophical perspectives - ranging from
Heidegger and phenomenology, to Hegel, Marx, and Freud - to create
unique philosophical insights, often overlooked in favor of his
theoretical and political interventions with the New Left, the
subject of previous volumes. This collection assembles significant,
and in some cases unknown texts from the Herbert Marcuse archives
in Frankfurt, including: critiques of positivism and idealism,
Dewey's pragmatism, and the tradition of German philosophy
philosophical essays from the 1930s and 1940s that attempt to
reconstruct philosophy on a materialist base Marcuse's unique
attempts to bring together Freud and philosophy philosophical
reflections on death, human aggression, war, and peace Marcuse's
later critical philosophical perspectives on science, technology,
society, religion, and ecology. A comprehensive introduction by
Douglas Kellner, Tyson Lewis and Clayton Pierce places Marcuse's
work in the context of his engagement with the main currents of
twentieth century politics and philosophy. An Afterword by Andrew
Feenberg provides a personal memory of Marcuse as scholar, teacher
and activist, and summarizes the lasting relevance of his radical
thought.
