Abstract

This contribution serves as an invitation to a renewed exploration of Herbert Marcuse's critical theory. It discloses his continued relevance for critical social theory and politics in the contemporary moment and why Marcuse should not be condemned to the dustbin of history but should be appropriated and developed in our contemporary conditions in which crises are multiplying.
