Description
Herbert Marcuse, Philosopher of Utopia A Graphic Biography by Nick Thorkelson is a compelling exploration of the life and ideas of a 20th-century philosopher who became an intellectual guide for activists and revolutionaries worldwide. From his early studies to his advocacy for a more humane world, Marcuse's philosophy remains relevant today. Marcuse's concept of "the Great Refusal" - the protest against that which is - continues to inspire those fighting against authoritarianism and its resurgence. This biography offers a fresh perspective on Marcuse's life and work, bringing his ideas into the present day. With its engaging narrative voice and powerful graphic style, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in radical politics and philosophy. Praise for Herbert Marcuse, Philosopher of Utopia includes praise from Joe Sacco, author of Footnotes in Gaza, who calls it "a warm, funny, richly detailed biography" that explores the world of revolutionary ideas.
