Abstract Marcuse's new book, Counter-Revolution and Revolt, attempts to articulate the subjective and objective factors leading to the re-emergence of radical politics in advanced capitalist society. Following the trend of An Essay on Liberation this book indicates a movement of critical theory away from a purely ideological critique of capitalism (expressed, for instance, in One-Dimensional Man) in that theoretical criticism now finds its practical expression in the developing political movements in opposition to the system. Marcuse's intention here seems to be to make critical theory enter more directly into the service of a socio-political practice under way. How well this intention is realized will be discussed later in this review.
