Herbert Marcuse

A German-Jewish philosopher, political theorist, and sociologist, he was a prominent member of the Frankfurt School. Celebrated as the "Father of the New Left," his intellectual contributions profoundly shaped the student movements and critical thought of the 1960s. His work delves into the complex interplay between repression and liberation within modern society, critically examining how technological advancement and industrialization can paradoxically foster new forms of subjugation. He compels readers to engage with challenging ideas about freedom and the human condition.
