Herbert Marcuse Quotes:
Ocupation: Philosopher
Life: July 19, 1898 - June 29, 1979
Birthday: July 19
Death: June 29
Inasmuch as art preserves, with the promise of happiness, the memory of the goal that failed, it can enter, as a 'regulative idea,' the desperate struggle for changing the world. Against all fetishism of the productive forces, against the continued enslavement of individuals by the objective conditions (which remain those of domination), art represents the ultimate goal of all revolutions: the freedom and happiness of the individual.
