摘要:This paper begins by tracing the conjunction between the birth of radical ecological politics and the New Left, then moves to a reconsideration of whether a Marcusian politics and culture of social intolerance is legitimate under contemporary circumstances. Following, I outline a call for the reconstruction of a Marcusian “pro-life” politics, and then close with a discussion of how Marcuse provides an under-utilized theory of politics as education and a revolutionary conception of humanitas, through which Marcuse sought to work to overcome the historical struggle and dichotomy between culture and nature, as well as the human and non-human animal. The conclusion offered is that Marcuse is a founding figure of a revolutionary ecopedagogy that seeks an end to the violent destruction of the earth, as it works to manifest a critical, utopian posthumanism based upon new life sensibilities that attempts to displace domination and repression broadly conceived with social alternatives.
