YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHerbert Marcuse and The Frankfurt School of Critical Theory made ginormous impacts throughout the 20th century. As newer forms of repression stemming from the industrial revolution came to fruition, and the reactions to it, Marcuse set out to understand what has happened, and what was happening during the student protests of the 1960's. The Great Refusal was an evolution from prior existentialist and Marxian philosophy, but took focus on changing forms of human subjectivity of power, control and consumption, rather than just the larger systemic structures at play. In the video we go into detail about some major points of the Great Refusal and it's modern day under-examined relevance.
