Developing a concept briefly introduced in Counterrevolution and
Revolt, Marcuse here addresses the shortcomings of Marxist aesthetic
theory and explores a dialectical aesthetic in which art functions as
the conscience of society. Marcuse argues that art is the only form or
expression that can take up where religion and philosophy fail and
contends that aesthetics offers the last refuge for two-dimensional
criticism in a one-dimensional society.
