The Legacy of Herbert Marcuse: A Critical Reader is a collection of brand new papers by seventeen Marcuse scholars, which provides a comprehensive reassessment of the relevance of Marcuse”s critical theory at the beginning of the 21st century.
Although best known for his reputation in critical theory, Herbert Marcuse”s work has had impact on areas as diverse as politics, technology, aesthetics, psychoanalysis and ecology. This collection addresses the contemporary relevance of Marcuse”s work in this broad variety of fields and from an international perspective.
In Part One, veteran scholars of Marcuse and the Frankfurt school examine the legacy of various specific areas of Marcuse”s thought, including the quest for radical subjectivity, the maternal ethic and the negative dialectics of imagination. Part Two focuses on a very new trend in Marcuse scholarship: the link between Marcuse”s ideas and environmental thought. The third part of this collection is dedicated to the work of younger Marcuse scholars, with the aim of documenting Marcuse”s reception among the next generation of critical theorists. The final section of the book contains recollections on Marcuse”s person rather than his critical theory, including an informative look back over his life by his son, Peter.
