Marcuse’s Understanding of Culture

Slobodan Sadžakov ; University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Philosophy, Novi Sad, Serbia

Abstract

The author in this paper considers the aspects of Marcuse’s undrestanding of culture, in the first place his analysis on relations between culture and civilisation. That relation, judged by Marcuse, is decisive for understanding the position of culture in modern civil society. Marcuse showed, including the dialectic relation between Culture and Civilisation, how certain demands which are imanent for Culture are being neutralized by “civilisation mechanisms” and how they become exalted, but not obligatory.
