Marcuse in America — Exile as Educator: Deprovincializing One-Dimensional Culture in the U.S.A
Herbert Marcuse As Social Justice Educator: A Critical Introduction
Demonstrating the continued relevance of Marcuse’s work, Herbert Marcuse as Social Justice Educator details how his teachings remain a countervailing force to the conventional wisdom in intellectual and political matters today. By drawing on Marcuse’s critical analysis of the political economy, a profound concern for environmental issues, and an explicit critique of educational philosophy, this book illuminates not only the content and contours o…
New Dimensions of Marcuse’s Philosophy of Liberation: Geography and Ecology
Authors of two new and different but related books on Herbert Marcuse’s contemporary relevance present their respective arguments and then engage in discussion. Spatializing Marcuse: Critical Theory for Contemporary Times argues that a central problematic in Marcuse’s work—the containment of social change—is at root a spatial problematic. Walker undertakes the unexplored geographical elements of Marcuse’s thought. The Revolutionary Ecological Leg…

Promesse du Bonheur: The Promesse du Bonheur
This is an essay on Marcuse's theory of the political Eros which has the power to help us attain our happiness-in-common by learning to live with dignity, freedom, and gratitude on planet Earth. Ecosocialism, in Marcuse's view, possesses the erotic potential to bring beauty and sensuous satisfaction to an abundant socio-economic order, fulfilling our natural and political essence as human beings
Critical pedagogy and radical political economics
An in-depth examination of political economy, especially the social dynamics of economic inequality, is a vital part of radical pedagogy. This essay explicates Herbert Marcuse's critique of the global political economy, U.S. militarism, and his educational philosophy. Marcuse's critical pedagogy stresses that educators at every level face the necessity of elaborating the theory and practice for a free world order today: one of racial equality, wo…
Teaching in the Age of Covid-19—1 Year Later
In March 2020 I published the 'emergency editorial' in Postdigital Science and Education and invited the community to 'explore all imaginable aspects of this large social experiment that the Covid-19 pandemic has lain down in front of us' (Jandri 2020a: 237). Articles immediately started pouring in; within weeks, the journal's contributions had been recognized by institutions such as the World Health Organization, the US National Library of Medic…

Herbert Marcuse Today: On Ecological Destruction, Neofascism, White Supremacy, Hate Speech, Racist Police Killings, and the Radical Goals of Socialism
Herbert Marcuse's political-philosophical vision, cultural critique, and social activism continue to offer an intelligent strategic perspective on current concerns - especially issues of ecological destruction, neofascist white supremacy, hate speech, hate crimes, and racist police violence. These can be countered through a recognition of the intersectionality of radical needs of diverse constituencies and radical collaboration, giving rise to sy…

Ecology and Revolution: Herbert Marcuse and the Challenge of a New World System Today
A timely addition to Henry Giroux’s Critical Interventions series, Ecology and Revolution is grounded in the Frankfurt School critical theory of Herbert Marcuse. Its task is to understand the economic architecture of wealth extraction that undergirds today’s intensifying inequalities of class, race, and gender, within a revolutionary ecological frame. Relying on newly discovered texts from the Frankfurt Marcuse Archive, this book builds theory an…

Celebrating Herbert Marcuse's One-Dimensional Man: Deprovincialization and the Recovery of Philosophy
In this historical contextualization of Herbert Marcuse’s One-Dimensional Man, I present critical arguments that Marcuse deploys in the US context—especially in light of the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War. I argue that (1) Marcuse’s critical perspective worked to deprovincialize Anglo-American philosophy and to demythologize the extravagantly glorified and sanitized “American Pageant” view of the world that prevailed in the United Stat…
