Herbert Marcuse
저자에 대하여
Herbert Marcuse was a German-American philosopher, sociologist, and political theorist associated with the Frankfurt School of critical theory. Born in 1898 in Germany, he moved to the United States in 1934, where he became a prominent figure in the intellectual landscape of the 20th century. Marcuse's work explored the intersections of Marxism, psychoanalysis, and existentialism, seeking to understand and critique the repressive structures of advanced industrial society. His notable publications include "One-Dimensional Man" and "The Aesthetic Dimension," where he argued for the importance of art and aesthetics in the struggle against oppression.
Marcuse became a significant figure during the 1960s counterculture movement, influencing student activism and social movements. His ideas about liberation, freedom, and the critique of modern capitalist society resonated with many who sought to challenge the status quo. He emphasized the need for a radical change in consciousness and proposed that genuine freedom could be achieved through a synthesis of individual and social liberation, paving the way for new forms of social organization and expression.
