«Eros y civilización» is the philosophical essay by Herbert Marcuse, published by Sarpe in hardback (100 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from the Freudian thesis that civilization represses the «pleasure principle», Marcuse combines psychoanalysis and Marxism to defend a non-repressive society. Against the neo-Freudians, he vindicates the power of Eros and points to the social and psychological tendencies that point toward that liberation.
This 1983 edition belongs to the collection Los grandes pensadores (no. 8), with a translation by Juan García Ponce; the original title is Eros and Civilization.
Reference work for readers of philosophy and critical theory interested in the dialogue between Marxism and psychoanalysis.
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.
