Marcuse once praised America as the land of the future
Evidence
- Ironically in the light of his later stance, Marcuse flattered his American audience in his introduction by quoting Hegel’s belief that America’s rational spirit made it the “land of the future” (Reason and Revolution, p. xv.) — Martin Jay, The Dialectical Imagination, 1107
Categorization
- QUESTION: Worth chasing: how did Marcuse’s stance toward America shift between Reason and Revolution (1941) and One-Dimensional Man (1964)?
