«El hombre unidimensional» is the philosophical essay by Herbert Marcuse, published by Planeta-Agostini in paperback (286 pages, in Spanish).
Herbert Marcuse analyses advanced industrial society and explains how consumption and technology generate needs that integrate the individual into a single mode of thought, limiting dissent and autonomy. The essay invites readers to recover critical consciousness and resistance against a social order that presents itself as inevitable.
This essay belongs to the collection Obras Maestras del Pensamiento Contemporáneo (volume 3), translated by Antonio Elorza.
For readers of social philosophy interested in the analysis of advanced industrial society.
Herbert Marcuse was a German and American philosopher, social critic, and political theorist, associated with the Frankfurt School of critical theory. Born in Berlin, Marcuse studied at the Friedrich Wilhelm University of Berlin and then at the University of Freiburg, where he received his PhD under the supervision of Martin Heidegger. He was a prominent figure in the Frankfurt-based Institute for Social Research, which later became known as the Frankfurt School. In his written works, he criticized capitalism, modern technology, Soviet Communism, and popular culture, arguing that they represent new forms of social control.
