Debunking some misconceptions about Herbert Marcuse, the notorious Hegelian Marxist Philosopher from the Frankfurt School
In this episode of 1Dime Radio, I am joined by Professor Andrew Feenberg, a former student of Herbert Marcuse and an American philosopher of technology and continental philosophy at Simon Fraser University. He is the author of numerous books, such as “The Philosophy Of Praxis: Marx, Lukács And The Frankfurt School” and most recently: “The Ruthless Critique of Everything Existing: Nature and Revolution in Marcuse's Philosophy of Praxis" : versobooks.com/products/3042-the-ruthless-critique-of-everything-existing
In this podcast, we dive deep into the complexities of Herbert Marcuse, his philosophy and politics, his relation to the New Left, and the most misunderstood aspects of thought. This includes his relation to his biggest theoretical influences, Nelson Marx, Hegel, Freud, and Heidegger. Here, we will be getting into some of the more difficult aspects of Marcuse’s philosophy. But we will start slowly, and it will be worth it.
