Book Description
Herbert Marcuse is one of the most influential thinkers of our time. Born in Berlin, Marcuse studied philosophy with Husserl and Heidegger at the Universities of Freiburg and Berlin. Marcuse's critical social theory ingeniously fuses phenomenology, Freudian thought and Marxist theory; and provides a solid ground for his reputation as the most crucial figure inspiring the social activism and New Left politics of the 1960s and 1970s. The largely unpublished work collected in this volume makes clear the continuing relevance of Marcuse's thought to contemporary issues. The texts published here, dealing with concerns during the period 1942-1951, exhibit penetrating critiques of technology and analyses of the ways that modern technology produces novel forms of society and culture with new modes of social control. The material collected in Technology, War and Facism provides exemplary attempts to link theory with practice, to develop ideas that can be used to grasp and transform existing social reality.
Technology, War and Fascism is the first of six volumes of Herbert Marcuse's Collected Papers to be edited by Douglas Kellner. Each volume is a collection of previously un-published or uncollected essays, unfinished manuscripts and letters by one of the greatest thinkers of our time.
Review
"[The series] will make a real contribution to reviving a neglected figure in American as well as world philosophy." -- Stanley Aronowitz, The Chronicle of Higher Education
"[These essays] testify to the continuing provocation of Marcuse's thought fifty years later." -- Martin Jay, University of California, Berkeley
"...a splendid beginning to a series that promises a renewed and revitalized interest in and consideration of one of the most significant representatives of critical theory." -- CJS Online
"...there is much material here of interest to the general reader...the items chosen for publication are interesting and appropriate, and the Foreward by Peter Marcuse and the Introduction by Douglas Kellner are clear and provide very valuable information about the historical and social context of Marcuse's writings." -- Philosophy in Review/Comptes Rendus Philosophiques
"It is refreshing to read Herbert Marcuse on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth and the issuing of a series of previously unpublished writings and letters . . . In the first volume of the series, we get reminded of Marcuses's incredible intellectual power . . . His vision of liberation . . . reached toward the dimensions of meaning that Tikkun supports" -- Tikkun
"[this] book is valuable...for documenting what the philosopher of revolution was thinking and writing when he was an official of the United States Government...Now, for the first time, we are able to read Marcuse's analyses of Nazi Germany, as well as his views of communism and revolution in the period immediately following the war." -- The New Republic
