Jednodimenzionalna kultura : Herbert Marcuse
One-dimensional culture: Herbert Marcuse

Summary/Abstract: Society critical theory that was dominant in philosophical thought of the second half of 20. century and paid attention on itself not only of philosophers, sociologists, it became in fact the pillar of whole social thought of one epoch. It kept till now a few representatives who bore all controversies of critical nationalization and established their thought direction on the idea of society change and emancipatory practice. Herber Marcuse, one of the eminent representatives of society critical theory (so called Frankfort’s circle of society thinkers) gives interesting theses about society change without revolution. Marcuse’s revolution can not be based on force. It does not go from outside conditions, but from a number of individual subjects that, having in mind unhumanity and society alienation, should lead action. Mas-media can make a step towards the changes, but they can not achieve the changes themselves. Media can help in processes of society emancipation, and these are, in fact, possibility and changes chances towards that we now call CIVIL SOCIETY. We have tried to mark Marcuse’s thought perspectives of contemporary interventions in transformation of clasical civil societies.
