Revolution or Reform? by Herbert Marcuse
This series provides a forum for the critical review of enduring issues concerning ethics and society. The text of the debate between Herbert Marcuse and Sir Karl Popper which follows in this volume raises many important issues. The crucial issues between the two participants are (1) their anthropological-axiological positions with respect to the nature of man, society, and the practical functions of democracy as a mode of self-government; (2) the conceptions of science and of philosophy which lie behind each thinker's claims with respect to these; and (3) their respective conceptions of the means required and feasible for attaining their respective social goals. The remarks which follow will attempt to focus upon, and deal critically with, the problems implicit in these three areas.Herbert Marcuse was a philosopher, sociologist, and political theorist who lived from 1898 to 1979. He was a key member in the Frankfurt School of social theory, having studied at both the University of Berlin and the University of Freiburg. In the 1930s, he left Germany and moved to the United States, where he spent the rest of his life teaching at some of the country's most prestigious schools and institutions. He is the author of many publications, including One-Dimensional Man, Eros and Civilization, and others.
