Recenzje

'[this] book is valuable ... for documenting what the philosopher of revolution was thinking and writing when he was an official of the United States Government .... Now, for the first time, we are able to read Marcuse's analyses of Nazi Germany, as well as his views of communism and revolution in the period immediately following the war.' - The New Republic

'Part 1940s period piece, part stimulus to ongoing thought on the social impact of technology, this first in a projected six volumes of Marcuse's papers, many of them previously unpublished, merits the attention of critical theorists and general readers alike.' - Kirkus Reviews

' ... it is refreshing to read Herbert Marcuse on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth and the issuing of a series of previously unpublished writings and letters by the progressive publisher Routledge ...' - - Tikkun
