The Ontology of One-Dimensional Society and the Critique of Technological Rationality
Heidegger’s influence on Marcuse’s later work
Keywords:
Marcuse, Heidegger, one-dimensionality, technological rationalityAbstract
Heidegger’s influence on Marcuse’s later work –which is only implicit in Eros and Civilization (1955) given the overriding importance of Freudian psychoanalysis there (1)– reappears explicitly in One-Dimensional Man (1964), but on two mutuallyinterdependent levels: the analysis of reification in one-dimensional postwar societies (2), and the critique of technological rationality (4). Certain conceptual weaknesses present in both works that derive largely from their reception of Heidegger’s thought, have been underscored by authors belonging to the so-called Husserlian Left (P. A. Rovatti and P. Piccone, etc.) (3).
