«El hombre unidimensional» is Herbert Marcuse's essay on the ideology of advanced industrial society, published by Planeta DeAgostini in hardback.
Marcuse's essay on advanced industrial society: consumerism, technology and media integrate the individual into a system that absorbs opposition and nullifies criticism. The work points to the marginalized and excluded as possible agents of change, and vindicates negativity against a merely formal democratic freedom.
Volume 15 of the Obras Maestras del Pensamiento Contemporáneo collection. The original work was published in 1964; translation by Antonio Elorza.
For readers of philosophy, sociology and critical theory interested in the critique of capitalism, alienation and consumer 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.
