Title: Eros and Civilization
Subtitle: A Philosophical Inquiry into Freud
Description: This is Herbert Marcuse's masterpiece which transfixed youth in the 1960s, convincing the New Left there was hope in revolutionary activity.  It's also Marcuse encounter with Signmund Freud, well worth the time to decipher it. Narcuse is optimistic, in that if we tame or transform capitalism, we can fix ourselves.  It's a far cry from Freud's pessimistic outlook.
