"When capitalism is clearly catastrophically out of control and its excesses cannot
be sustained socially or ecologically, the ideas of Herbert Marcuse become as relevant
as they were in the 1960s. This is the first English introduction to Marcuse to be
published for decades, and deals specifically with his aesthetic theories and their
relation to a critical theory of society. Although Marcuse is best known as a critic
of consumer society, epitomised in the classic One-Dimensional Man, Malcolm Miles
provides an insight into how Marcuse's aesthetic theories evolved within his broader
attitudes, from his anxiety at the rise of fascism in the 1930s through heady optimism
of the 1960s, to acceptance in the 1970s that radical art becomes an invaluable progressive
force when political change has become deadlocked. Marcuse's aesthetics of liberation,
in which art assumes a primary role in interrupting the operation of capitalism, made
him a key figure for the student movement in the 1960s. As diverse forms of resistance
rise once more, a new generation of students, scholars and activists will find Marcuse's
radical theory essential to their struggle"--Publisher's website
