Herbert Marcuse and the Crisis of Marxism attempts a systematic overview of the whole of Marcuse's work. The book is based on study of his entire published writings and offers new interpretations of Marcuse's major works and central theoretical and political positions. It is the first study to interpret Marcuse's work as a critique and development of Marxism which responds to a series of what have been called "crises of Marxism". Douglas Kellner shows how Marcuse's synthesis of phenomenological existentialism, Hegelian dialectics, Freud's metapsychology, and aesthetic theory with Marxism responded to crises within Marxian theory could not account for. Likewise, Marcuse's development of a theory of advanced industrial society that questioned certain aspects of classical Marxism and his critiques of Soviet Marxism were motivated by failures of Marxism to account for certain facets of contemporary history. Kellner presents a more nuanced account of Marcuse's post-1960s' writings by showing how, in the 1970s, Marcuse radically modified his theories and contributed both new perspectives on advanced capitalism and liberation and new theories of social change.

This volume contains the correspondence during the years 1954 to 1978 between Marxist-Humanist and feminist philosopher Raya Dunayevskaya (1910-87) and the Hegelian Marxist philosopher and social theorist Herbert Marcuse (1898-1979) and the psychologist and social critic Erich Fromm (1900-80). The exchanges show the deeply Marxist and humanist concerns of these theorists while also highlighting their significant differences on key issues in philosophy, politics, and psychology during the turbulent decades of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.

This book provides a critical overview of the entirety of Marcuse’s work and discusses his enduring importance. Kellner had extensive interviews with Marcuse and provides hitherto unknown information about his road to Marxism, his relations with Heidegger and Existentialism, his involvement with the Frankfurt School, and his reasons for appropriating Freud in the 1950s. In addition Kellner provides a novel interpretation of the genesis and structure of Marcuse’s theory of one-dimensional society, of the development of his political theory, and of the role of aesthetics in his critical theory.

The Essential Marcuse provides an overview of Herbert Marcuse's political and philosophical writing over four decades, with excerpts from his major books as well as essays from various academic journals. The most influential radical philosopher of the 1960s, Marcuse's writings are noteworthy for their uncompromising opposition to both capitalism and communism. His words are as relevant to today's society as they were at the time they were written.

This sweeping study of the Left ranges across the centuries to show the links between the obscenities of de Sade, the revolutionary mystique of Marcuse - and the brutalities of Stalin, Hitler and Mao. The leftist ideologies dominating or threatening the modern world are competitors rather than enemies.

Paul Gottfried has spent a lifetime asking politically incorrect questions, untimely questions that have made him more unpopular among some timid "movement" conservatives than among critical theorists, Central European Marxists, and assorted other debating and dining partners. But in Encounters: My Life with Nixon, Marcuse, and Other Friends and Teachers, Gottfried puts past political battles aside in order to recount his varied associations and friendships with a host of fascinating figures, including his father, Herbert Marcuse, Paul Piccone, Christopher Lasch, Richard Nixon, and Patrick J. Buchanan.Gottfried's memoir emphasizes the Forrest Gump-like quality of his often accidental relationships with these celebrities and stimulating personalities, the benefits of which were not social or professional but personal. He insists that his life would be of little general interest were it not for the fortuitous encounters that have raised it out of the ordinary. The result is a unique, enthralling narrative that makes a signal contribution to American intellectual history.
