Episode description

In this episode, we begin our short series covering a book by America's most influential Critical Theorist, Herbert Marcuse. Marcuse and his "critical" adaptation of Marx's theory form a poignant and eye-opening contrast to the understanding of human nature we saw on display in Lewis's The Abolition of Man.  Link to An Essay on Liberation: https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/marcuse/works/1969/essay-liberation.pdf
