Negations Essays in Critical Theory
Negations Essays in Critical Theory Herbert Marcuse may fly Negations Herbert Marcuse Herbert Marcuse’s Negations is both a radical critique of capitalist modernity and a model of materialist dialectical thinking. In a series of essays, originally written in the period stretching from the 1930s to 1960s, Marcuse takes up the presupposed categories that have, and continue to, ground thought and action in our administered society: liberalism, industrialism, individualism, hedonism, aggres- sion. This book is both a testament to a great thinker and a still vital strand of thought in the comprehension and critique of the mod- ern organized world. It is essential reading for younger scholars and a radical reminder for those steeped in the tradition of a critical theory of society. With a brilliance of conception combined with an insistence on the material conditions of thought and action, this book speaks both to the particular contents engaged and to the fundamental grounds of any critique of organized modernity. may fly www.mayfl ybooks.org Today, at one and the same time, scholarly publishing is drawn in two directions.

SUBLIME SUBJECTS AND TICKLISH OBJECTS IN EARLY MODERN ENGLISH UTOPIAS by STEPHEN DANIEL MILLS Under the Direction of Dr. Calvin Thomas and Dr. Paul J. Voss ABSTRACT Critical theory has historically situated the beginning of the “modern” era of subjectivity near the end of the seventeenth century. Michel Foucault himself once said in an interview that modernity began with the writings of the late seventeenth-century philosopher Benedict Spinoza. But an examination of early modern English utopian literature demonstrates that a modern notion of subjectivity can be found in texts that pre-date Spinoza. In this dissertation, I examine four utopian texts—Thomas More’s Utopia , Francis Bacon’s New Atlantis , Margaret Cavendish’s Description
