    "In short, there need be no unqualified acceptance of any type of literature in order to work along phenomenological lines. Husserl himself passed through various stages, from psychologism to "neutralism" to transcendental idealism; there were "realistic" and "idealistic" phenomenologists (a comparison with the left-wing and right-wing Hegelians suggests itself), religious and irreligious members of the movement, rationalists and fideists, conservatives and radicals.[3] The mystical 'bulge' in the phenomenological movement could only be swept away by the descriptive procedure, and yet it persisted through the years."

  • Abstract: "Diese Ausführungen versuchen von der Position aus, die Heideggers Buch Sein und Zeit für die phänomenologische Philosophie erarbeitet hat, die Möglichkeit einer konkreten Philosophie und ihre Notwendigkeit in der gegenwärtigen Situation darzutun. Eigentlich erwiesen werden kann solche Philosophie nur durch ihre Leistung, die folgenden Bemerkungen wollen sie nicht ersetzen, nur zu verhindern versuchen, dass Stücke konkreter Philosophie, wenn sie wirklich vorliegen, immer wieder als 'unphilosophisch,' bestenfalls als Zwischenspiel 'wahrer' Philosophie hingestellt werden."
  • Harold's translation of abstract: "Starting from the position developed in Heidegger's book Being and Time for phenomenological philosophy, this essay tries to demonstrate the possibility of a concrete philosophy and its necessity in the present situation. Actually such a philosophy can only be proven through its achievements, which the following comments do not replace. Rather, they merely try to prevent that examples of concrete philosophy, if they really appear, are repeatedly called 'unphilosophical,' or at best as an interlude in 'true' philosophy."

    • reviewed by George McCarthy in: Contemporary Sociology 17:2 (March 1988), 262-263.
    • Library Journal, 1987:
      "Marcuse examines three aspects of Hegel's philosophy: the concept of life and its ontological status, the concept of movement as an ontological dimension of all existence, and the bearing of both concepts on the theory of historicity. Examining first Hegel's Logic and then his theological writings and Phenomenology of Mind, he argues that Hegel was moving from an ontological to a historical characterization of human existence. The work, among Marcuse's earliest, is highly technical in its vocabularythough a glossary provides some assistance and is translated into English for the first time here. Though it shows little of the Marcuse who became a popular New Left theorist, it will be of interest to students of 19th- and 20th-century philosophy.

• Description: In this classic exposition of Marxist thought, Raya Dunayevskaya, with clarity and great insight, traces the development and explains the essential features of Marx's analysis of history. Using as her point of departure the Industrial and French Revolutions, the European upheavals of 1848, the American Civil War, and the Paris Commune of 1871, Dunayevskaya shows how Marx, inspired by these events, adapted Hegel's philosophy to analyze the course of history as a dialectical process that moves "from practice to theory." The essence of Marx's philosophy, as Dunayevskaya points out, is the human struggle for freedom, which entails the gradual emergence of a proletarian revolutionary conciousness and the discovery through conflict of the means for realizing complete human freedom.
  In spite of the profound derailment of Marxist political philosophy in the twentieth century, Dunayevskaya points to developments such as the Hungarian revolt of 1956 and the civil rights struggles in the United States as signs that the indomitable quest for freedom on the part of the downtrodden cannot forever be repressed. The Hegelian dialectic of events propelled by the spirit of the masses thus moves on inexorably with the hope for future achievement of political, economic, and social freedom and equality for all.

  Abstract: This small edition of previously unpublished correspondence between Paul Tillich and Herbert Marcuse dates from late 1962 until Tillich's death in October 1965. It provides a glimpse into a relationship in which the two left-leaning German intellectual émigrés debate responsible American social policy in the atomic age. Their common bonds (Frankfurt School, proximity of Harvard to Brandeis University, and personal ties) only partly bridge their perceived differences, and those of their spouses, Hannah and Inge, in a situation in which Marcuse stands as the more outspoken critic of the United States.

  • Slavoj Zizek mentions this text in his book First as tragedy, then as farce (2009; searchable on amazon), p. 5: "It thus seems that Fukuyama's utopia of the 1990s had to die twice,since the collapse of the liberal-democratic political utopia on 9/11 did not affect the economic utopia of global market capitalism; if the 2008 financial meltdown has a historical meaning then, it is as a sign of the end of the economic face of Fukuyama's dream.Which brings us back to Marx's paraphrase of Hegel: one should recall that, in his introduction to a new edition of Eighteenth Brumaire in the 1960s, Herbert Marcuse added yet another turn of the screw: sometimes, the repetition in the guise of a farce can be more terrifying than the original tragedy."
    [hm: The verbatim quotation is "the farce is more fearful than the tragedy it follows."]

  • Ralph Dumain offer the following commentary: "This review was published in a book of criticism of Charles Reich's THE GREENING OF AMERICA. I don't know how many of you are old enough--or I presume American--to remember this awful pop intellectual explanation of the countercultural rebellion of the '60s. (I had an English teacher who claimed he was Consciousnes III, I think because he rode a bicycle, whereas I thought he was still struggling to master Consciousness I.) While Marcuse's essay is a fairly superficial knock-off, it does occasion a remembrance of the competing ideologies of the time, and especially the lite middlebrow fare peddled to the liberal educated middle class, which should serve as a reminder of what kind of literature the culture industry enables for a popular audience. I'm not sure who the first pop intellectual was--I do remember being nauseated by Marshall McLuhan before Reich, Roszak, and others came along. I think pop intellectuals bear some ideological scrutiny, though times have indeed changed and the winds of fashion are blowing their farts in different directions. Pop intellectual products fashioned for middlebrow audiences are revealing of the forces of commodification, fetishism, ideology, mystification, and fragmentation affecting the intelligentsia. Critique itself becomes commodified, not just in terms of marketing but in intellectual content. The more superficial it is, the more it mimics the ideological forms of appearance of its object, the easier it is to generate as well as to sell. It provides us one more layer we have to cut through. Sometimes two, as with Curtis White's THE MIDDLE MIND, a piece of crap that mimics the very middlebrow culture it excoriates.
    As you may recall, Marcuse also faced off against more serious scholars hawking a mystical view of cultural revolution, such as Norman O. Brown, who wrote a serious book, LIFE AGAINST DEATH, with a panoramic vision in competition with EROS AND CIVILIZATION, and a bunch of crap much later on.

  • Blurb: "This volume advances Marcuse scholarship by presenting seven newly discovered, hitherto unpublished, lectures to students at Vincennes University, a branch of the Sorbonne. Marcuse's critical analysis focuses on core features of American society, its political economy, its culture, and the potential attainability of a free socialist future. These 1974 manuscripts were found in 2014 in the Marcuse archive at the University of Frankfurt by Peter-Erwin Jansen. Jansen and Charles Reitz edited and annotated the lectures for publication. Commentary by Sarah Surak, Detlev Claussen, and Douglas Kellner illuminates the historical context of Marcuse's theoretical perspective and his relevance to contemporary movements for social change."

  • $13 on amazon. Reader Elliott Green (German major at Princeton, MPhil student in Development Studies at the London School of Economics) wrote on Amazon: "Herbert Marcuse, original member of the so-called 'Frankfurt School', here presents a critique of Marxist aesthetics in one of his last books. Although only 72 pages long, the book is powerful in its argument against the orthodox Marxist view that 'art represents its the interests and world outlook of particular social classes.' Marcuse argues for the importance of art in itself, apart from its source, writing, 'the criteria for the progressive character of art are given only in the work itself as a whole: in what it says and how it says it.' He truly believes that art's place in the world is not to change the world directly but to influence how people perceive the world and thereby lead them to change it. Marcuse also touches upon other aspects of aesthetics, like his belief in a constant standard allowing us to distinguish between high and low art and the question of the 'end of art' as posited by Bertolt Brecht and others. Nevertheless his main argument is most powerful: he ends the book by praising art's role in representing 'the ultimate goal of all revolutions: the freedom and happiness of the individual.' Truly a valuable book for all students of art, aesthetics and philosophy."

• Herbert Marcuse, Heideggerian Marxism, edited by Richard Wolin and John Abromeit (Univ. of Nebraska Press, 2005), 288 pages.
  Publisher's blurb: Marcuse studied with Martin Heidegger at Freiburg University from 1928 to 1932 and completed a dissertation on Hegel�s theory of historicity under Heidegger�s supervision. During these years, Marcuse wrote a number of provocative philosophical essays experimenting with the possibilities of Heideggerian Marxism. For a time he believed that Heidegger�s ideas could revitalize Marxism, providing a dimension of experiential concreteness that was sorely lacking in the German Idealist tradition. Ultimately, two events deterred Marcuse from completing this program: the 1932 publication of Marx�s early economic and philosophical manuscripts, and Heidegger�s conversion to Nazism a year later. Heideggerian Marxism offers rich and fascinating testimony concerning the first attempt to fuse Marxism and existentialism.
  These essays offer invaluable insight concerning Marcuse�s early philosophical evolution. They document one of the century�s most important Marxist philosophers attempting to respond to the �crisis of Marxism�: the failure of the European revolution coupled with the growing repression in the USSR. In response, Marcuse contrived an imaginative and original theoretical synthesis: �existential Marxism.� (publisher's page; $35 on amazon-after Nov. 30, 2005) [back to 1920s publications]

These 1974 manuscripts were found in 2014 in the Marcuse archive at the University of Frankfurt by Peter-Erwin Jansen. Jansen and Charles Reitz edited and annotated the lectures for publication.
