In "Ecology and Social Critique," the final volume of the "Posthumous Writings," Herbert Marcuse emerges as a visionary of the burgeoning ecological movement. The destructive power of the capitalist mode of production has been a central theme throughout Herbert Marcuse's writings. He has repeatedly analyzed the destructive redirection of human drives in the externally controlled labor process, highlighted the connection between authoritarian character structures and authoritarian states, and condemned the aggressive potential of imperialist blocs. In his later writings, Marcuse addresses another aspect of exploitation: following the suppression of humanity's inner nature, the exploitation and oppression of the outer nature by humans increasingly comes into focus in his thinking. Ecology and Social Critique gathers essential texts.
