an essay on liberation
second printing, 1969.
written at the height of 1968's global upheaval and the crest of its revolutionary potential, this slim manifesto imagines a non-repressive society. drawing on marx, freud, and utopian speculation, marcuse argues for new forms of liberation rooted in ecology, technology, and erotic life.
once an officer in the us wartime oss, marcuse's embrace of student radicalism, black power, and the anti-war movement earned him the title “father of the new left."
