Marcuse

Famous quotes containing the word marcuse:

    If mass communications blend together harmoniously, and often unnoticeably, art, politics, religion, and philosophy with commercials, they bring these realms of culture to their common denominator—the commodity form. The music of the soul is also the music of salesmanship. Exchange value, not truth value, counts.
    —Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)

    The web of domination has become the web of Reason itself, and this society is fatally entangled in it.
    —Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)

    The people recognize themselves in their commodities; they find their soul in their automobile, hi-fi set, split-level home, kitchen equipment.
    —Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
