	Theresa MacKey biographical article about Herbert Marcuse, 2001 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		He was perhaps the most discussed philosopher of the 1960s and an essential impetus for the counterculture in the U.S. and France during the late 1960s.

		Marxist theory was dealt a blow by the collapse of world socialism, and postmodern theory opposed many if not most of Marxism's old constructs, but Marcuse's radical revisions of Marxist theory remain relevant to post-Marxist society.

		Instead, American Marxists have tender either to look abroad toward European Marxists- many of whose concrete assumptions were irrelevant to American history-or to non-Marxists like Dewey or Keynes or Freud.
		As might be expected, the major socialist organizations-the prewar socialists and the communists of the 1930s- made a nebulous -and, in the case of American communists, a negative- contribution to American political thought.

		In fact, in every topic of his course the teacher contrasts the Marxist world outlook with bourgeois views, and this means that the method employed in criticizing bourgeois philosophic concepts is a very important element.
