Marcuse’s Berlin lectures converged with Habermas’s Hanover position

Evidence

In his second lecture, The Problem of Violence in the Opposition', he described the pursuit of confrontation for confrontation's sake as irresponsible, emphasized the necessity for an elaboration of Critical Theory, and designated the liberation of consciousnessa liberation that would require both discussion and demonstration, the involvement of the whole person’as the priority for the opposition. In terms of the points relevant to his audience’s expectations, therefore, there was practically no difference any more between what Marcuse was saying and what Habermas had said in Hanover. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 2631
