Illuminations: Kellner |
 | | MARCUSE, HERBERT (1898-1979), author, University professor, and political activist, was born on July 19, 1898, in Berlin, Germany, the son of Carl Marcuse, a prosperous Jewish merchant and Gertrud Kreslawsky, daughter of a wealthy German factory owner. |
 | | Marcuse's wide-ranging critique of both advanced capitalist and communist societies analyzed the decline of revolutionary potential in capitalist societies and the development of new forms of social control. |
 | | Marcuse's work in philosophy and social theory generated fierce controversy and polemics, and most studies of his work are highly tendentious and frequently sectarian. |
