"The most effective conquest and domination of people by people often occur in the most highly developed civilizations."
──Marcuse
This book was rewritten by Marcuse based on his lectures on Freud at the Washington Institute of Psychiatry (1950-1951) and published in 1955. In the book, Marcuse attempts to combine Marx's early thoughts and reveal the hidden political, sociological and philosophical aspects of Freudian psychology.
The book is divided into two parts, with a total of 11 chapters. The first part reinterprets Freud's discussion of civilization from a sociological perspective: the history of the progress of human civilization is the history of suppressed instincts. Marcuse believes that the progress of civilization does not necessarily require excessive suppression of human life instincts, but should allow Eros to flow naturally, so that social conditions will naturally change in the direction of the flow of Eros; the second part criticizes industrial civilization, The "rationality" that capitalist society is proud of leads to human alienation. Combining Freudian and Marxist theories, it proposes the possibility of establishing a "non-repressive civilization."
