What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A philosophical critique of psychoanalysis that takes psychoanalysis seriously but not as unchallengeable dogma… . The most significant general treatment of psychoanalytic theory since Freud himself ceased publication.” —Clyde Kluckhohn, The New York Times
“An avowedly political project, seeking new and freer possibilities within the framework of psychoanalysis.” —The Collector
“Only in a philosophy that teaches (as Marcuse’s does) that we must refuse to fear death is true liberation to be found.” —Florida Philosophical Review
“Marcuse presented a radical gateway for the pursuit of happiness and the enhancement of freedom.” —Dissent Magazine
