From Luther to Popper by Herbert Marcuse
This is the first paperback edition of what is now recognised as Marcuse's most important collection of writings on philosophy. He analyses and attacks some of the main intellectual currents of European thought from the Reformation to the Cold War. In a survey that includes Luther, Calvin, Kant, Burke, Hegel and Bergson, he shows how certain concepts of authority and liberty are constant elements in their very different systems. The book also contains Marcuse's famous response to Karl Popper's Poverty of Historicism, and his critique of Sartre.
This is well worth reading* Radical Philosophy *
The critique of Karl Popper is excellent and the critical account of Sartre's early existentialism is the most able and acute short comment I have ever read on the subject. * New Statesman *

Herbert Marcuse, 1898-1979, was a member of the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research. He was forced to leave Germany in 1933, eventually settling in the USA. His classic studies of capitalist society, Eros and Civilization and One-Dimensional Man, were important influences on the New Left of the 1960s and 1970s and his libertarian socialism remains an important intellectual resource.
