Herbert Marcuse is one of the most interesting philosophers of the 20th century, the author of the book “Eros and Civilization”, published in 1955 - and became, along with the works of Louis-Strauss and Cohn-Bendit. one of the “absolute” works of the era of the beginning of the “sexual revolution”. So how much truth is there in the theory of a “repressive” civilization that suppresses the human personality through the suppression of human sexuality?.. Marcuse’s theories developed brilliantly later, in the work “One-Dimensional Man”, perhaps , his only “aggressive-sociological” work - a tough, precise and deliberate study of the “one-dimensionality” of not only modern society, but also the consciousness of man, controlled by this society...
