{"product_id":"heideggerian-marxism-european-horizons","title":"Heideggerian Marxism","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Frankfurt School philosopher Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979) studied with Martin Heidegger at Freiburg University from 1928 to 1932 and completed a dissertation on Hegel’s theory of historicity under Heidegger’s supervision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring these years, Marcuse wrote a number of provocative philosophical essays experimenting with the possibilities of Heideggerian Marxism. For a time he believed that Heidegger’s ideas could revitalize Marxism, providing a dimension of experiential concreteness that was sorely lacking in the German Idealist tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltimately, two events deterred Marcuse from completing this program: the 1932 publication of Marx’s early economic and philosophical manuscripts, and Heidegger’s conversion to Nazism a year later. Heideggerian Marxism offers rich and fascinating testimony concerning the first attempt to fuse Marxism and existentialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese essays offer invaluable insight concerning Marcuse’s early philosophical evolution. They document one of the century’s most important Marxist philosophers attempting to respond to the “crisis of Marxism”: the failure of the European revolution coupled with the growing repression in the USSR. In response, Marcuse contrived an imaginative and original theoretical synthesis: “existential Marxism.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Herbert Marcuse, Richard Wolin, John Abromeit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43515585003689,"sku":"9780803283121","price":26.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/9780803283121.jpg?v=1704327066","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/heideggerian-marxism-european-horizons","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
