Description: Psychoanalysis, Politics, and Utopia by Herbert Marcuse, Ray Brassier An impassioned plea for overcoming capitalism, whose urgency is more timely today than when it was first published fifty years ago. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description An impassioned plea for overcoming capitalism, whose urgency is more timely today than when it was first published fifty years ago.Back in print after fifty years and with a new introduction by Ray Brassier, this often overlooked but prescient collection of Marcuses lectures makes an impassioned plea for the overthrowing of capitalism.Analysing the work of Freud and Marx, and taking in topics like automation, work, postcapitalism, utopia, and technology, Psychoanalysis, Politics, and Utopia excavates the psychic roots of the current crisis of capitalist civilisation, and gives us a blueprint for the emancipation of humanity from the toils of capitalism.In a world reeling from the ongoing collapse of the neoliberal consensus, coupled with the accelerating pace of catastrophic climate change wrought by capitalism, Marcuses radical insights in Psychoanalysis, Politics, and Utopia are as urgently relevant today as they were in 1970. Author Biography Herbert Marcuse (1898-1979) was a philosopher and critical social theorist. He was a member of the Institute for Social Research, along with Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer. His best-known works are Reason and Revolution (1940); Eros and Civilization (1955); and One Dimensional Man (1964). His work exerted a profound influence on the New Left and the radical counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s. Review "Against the lies and mystifications of a cynical realism, Marcuse insists on the real basis of utopia — an insistence we need today more than ever.""Marcuse also shows a path to a concrete utopia made possible by the achievements of the existing society. The essays in his volume are once again timely as rising social conflict on the right and the left challenges conventional thinking.""These texts indicate how and why Marcuse was a key influence on the New Left and radical politics during the last two decades of his life in the 1960s and 1970s, and his continuing relevance for radical theory and politics today." Review Quote "Against the lies and mystifications of a cynical realism, Marcuse insists on the real basis of utopia -- an insistence we need today more than ever." - Jodi Dean , author of Comrade: An Essay on Political Belonging and The Communist Horizon "Marcuse also shows a path to a concrete utopia made possible by the achievements of the existing society. The essays in his volume are once again timely as rising social conflict on the right and the left challenges conventional thinking." - Professor Andrew Feenberg , Simon Fraser University "These texts indicate how and why Marcuse was a key influence on the New Left and radical politics during the last two decades of his life in the 1960s and 1970s, and his continuing relevance for radical theory and politics today." - Douglas Kellner , UCLA Details ISBN1914420403 Author Ray Brassier Short Title Psychoanalysis, Politics, and Utopia Language English Year 2022 ISBN-10 1914420403 ISBN-13 9781914420405 Format Paperback Publication Date 2022-08-09 Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom AU Release Date 2022-08-09 NZ Release Date 2022-08-09 UK Release Date 2022-08-09 Pages 152 Imprint Repeater Books Publisher Watkins Media Limited Subtitle Five Lectures Edition Description New edition DEWEY 150.195 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
