"Der Tauschwert zählt, nicht der Wahrheitswert. In ihm fasst sich die Rationalität des Status quo zusammen, und alle andersartige Rationalität wird ihr unterworfen."

Herbert #Marcuse ist heute vor 44 Jahren gestorben

Keine Toleranz der Intoleranz!

„#Toleranz kann nicht unterschiedslos und gleich sein hinsichtlich der Inhalte des Ausdrucks in Wort und Tat; sie kann nicht falsche Worte und unrechte Taten schützen, die demonstrierbar den Möglichkeiten der Befreiung widersprechen und entgegenwirken.“

- Herbert #Marcuse, "Repressive Toleranz" (1965)

Happy Sunday #academic Mastodon.

Looking for some reading recs. Can anyone suggest good primers on #Adorno and #Marcuse? Coming at them from scratch. 😵‍💫

Thank you!

Una mia riflessione personale sul sesso…

DUE PAROLE SULL'ORGASMO

Ogni volta che raggiungiamo l'orgasmo avviene un rilascio di dopamina nel nucleo accumbens e un rilascio di ossitocina (detto anche l'ormone dell'amore) nell'ipotalamo. La questione è che i cosiddetti centri del piacere a livello neurofisiologico non sono stimolati unic

Afgevinkt op de leeslijst: @basheijne in NRC (26/4) over #Marcuse: 'Zorg over een (..) samenleving, waarin de mens tot een te manipuleren ding wordt, woede over een louter op (over)consumptie gerichte maatschappij, waarin de vernietiging van de leefomgeving wordt afgekocht met groei en persoonlijk comfort, frustratie over de schijnbare onmogelijkheid van een werkelijke systeemverandering – je vindt het allemaal in dit boek terug.'

En zijn #kanttekeningen (!) daarbij.

The 60's are back, I guess, if Marcuse is making the covers again. Once I was looking into Marcuse and hippos (don't ask) and I found that when he was appointed to teach at UC San Diego, he got bomb and death threats from the Ku Klux Klan and from (Governor of California) Reagan-ite nutcases. Also, as per tradition, the threatening letters had spelling mistakes. #Marcuse #GroeneAmsterdammer #Philosophy #California #SanDiego

Beetje zware kost dat artikel over Marcuse in @DeGroene op de vroege morgen, maar wel relevant:

Our country is on the verge of a civil war and your biggest concern in life is trying find something to watch on Netflix.

Boo hoo hoo!

Now I know why #Marcuse lost faith in the working class!

Quote of the day:

“The purpose of #dialectical or negative thinking is to expose and then overcome by revolutionary action the contradictions by which advanced industrial societies are constituted. The problem of concealment occurs here because not only does society produce contradictions and the forms of domination that come with them, but also produces the social and psychological mechanisms that conceal these contradictions.” - Arnold Farr on #Marcuse

#Freud #Marcuse

Examples of excessive repression brought to you by Abrahamic Conservatism Inc:

“Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old from Iran's Kurdistan region, died in custody after she was detained last month by morality police in Iran's capital, Tehran, for allegedly failing to fully cover her hair and defying the country's strict dress codes.”

Exactly, what the fuck does covering one’s hair, or one’s dress code in general, have anything to do with one morality, or lack thereof?

#CriticalTheory #FrankfurtSchool #Marxism #Marcuse - Andew Feenberg: "Marcuse was the face of the Frankfurt School during the 1960s and '70s. His eclipse led, among other unfortunate consequences, to the disappearance of his critique of science and technology. That critique is based on an experiential ontology that derives in part from Marcuse’s background in phenomenology. In this paper I trace the roots of that ontology in his early interpretation of Marx’s Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844. One-Dimensional Man takes up the phenomenological critique in a Marxist vein. This critique is newly relevant now that we face impending environmental catastrophe due to climate change. Thus the study of Marcuse today is not simply academic, but once again politically significant."

One that allows every citizen of the nation to self-cultivate, self-realize, and self-actualize, and polymorphous perversely self-jolly their way into the Sophianic heights.
Self-improvement that also leads to social improvement is the ultimate form of masturbation.

KulturKampf: The Intersection of #Nietzsche and #Marcuse: The concept of the soul as a tool of oppression.

“The belief that the soul is more important than the body and material needs leads to political resignation insofar as freedom becomes internal. Hence, the soul accepts the facts of its material existence without fighting to change these facts. Affirmative culture with its idea of the soul has used art to erase radical subjectivity.”

All civilization requires a certain level of repression, and we should ask, as #Marcuse perceptively asked himself: “But how much repression?”

I have taken it upon myself to provide a tentative answer to this most pressing question, locating it within the framework of a “hedonistic” & polymorphous perverse form of Gnosticism that is based on a socioeconomic model that is egalitarian and social democratic via a constitutionally revised commitment to a set of universal economic guarantees.

#Marcuse est oublié et le #marxisme a été englouti par les idées de beaucoup de fous en Amérique latine
