Evidence
It was a `high-profile’ essay, as Marcuse himself wrote to Horkheimer while he was working on it at the beginning of 1965. In One-Dimensional Man: Studies in the Ideology of Advanced Industrial Society, Marcuse had attempted to provide what had been missing in the work of the other older Critical Theorists: putting analyses of late capitalist society into a systematic context. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 643
