He analyzes and attacks some of the main intellectual currents of European thoughts from the Reformation to the Cold War. In a survey that includes Luther, Calvin, Kant, Burke, Hegel and Bergson, he shows how certain concepts of authority and liberty are constant elements in their very different systems. The book also contains Marcuse’s famous response to Karl Popper’s \u003ci\u003ePoverty of Historicism\u003c\/i\u003e, and his critique of Sartre.“Marcuse brought a forceful clarity to the leftist table; a classical Marxism willing to confront new realities.”—\u003ci\u003eThe Nation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Lucid and powerful.”—\u003ci\u003eNew Society\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“It is a worldly philosopher’s dream: his long neglected works catch fire, illuminate his times and emblazon his name for posterity.
