Reviews

[Joseph · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a paradigm shifting book in that the formerly unpublished works that this book presents completely change the existing perception of the Frankfurt School's intellectual and power dynamics. I thought that the introduction was very clear and structured; and it presented the objective of the book and the structure of Marcuse's essays in a scholarly, yet lucid, fashion.

i return frequently to his idea of technics & technology, as well as his analysis with franz neumann of nazism.

There is no personal escape from the apparatus which has mechanized and standarized the world (Marcuse, 1941: 46).
