Integrating a certain school of contemporary philosophy with Marx,especially with the ideas of early Marx,trying to provide solutions to the ills of today's advanced industrial society,and to design a grand blueprint for the future society.In this respect,contemporary American philosophy Herbert Marcuse is a prominent figure as a writer,social critical theorist,and an important representative of the Frankfurt School.As the most influential social theorist in contemporary Western society,Marcuse was given the "spiritual leader","father of youth rebellion",and "developed" in the West German and American student movements in the late 1960 s and early 1970 s.The most important Marxist theorist of industrial society".It is even compared with Marx and Mao Zedong,and is called "3M" with both.His work is hailed as "the most mature analysis of the developed capitalist society so far."Utopian socialism is the inevitable result of the development of Marcuse's thoughts,but in his view,utopia is not a derogatory term,but a new conception of liberation and freedom,and a forerunner of the transformation of human concepts.Although it is unacceptable in the sense of science and technology,the possibility of being a human consciousness will always exist and will become an inspiration for human liberation.Marcuse has repeatedly emphasized that what he advocates is the end of traditional utopia,and new social development has redefined the concept of utopia in the future.As an anti-trend thinker,Marcuse's thoughts are radical,and the utopian elements in his thoughts are everywhere.Judging from his philosophical and ideological origins,he did inherit the western criticalism and romanticism traditions.Generally speaking,Marcuse's thought has two foundations,one is the philosophical foundation formed by Heidegger-Hegel-Marx;the other is the anthropological foundation formed by Freud's instinct theory and metapsychology.The former is a "comprehensive critique" of the developed industrial society,and the latter is the "reconstruction" of the ideal society.These two constitute the two cores of his theoretical development.This article also focuses on these two cores and elaborates Marcue.The origin,development,climax and destination of thought.The content of the paper(from introduction to conclusion)is divided into five parts:Chapter 1 The introduction part introduces the topic background and the research significance around the set theme.At the same time,it also covers the domestic and foreign research status,research ideas,research methods,and innovations and deficiencies of the paper.Chapter 2 analyzes the theoretical origin,background and development process of Marcuse utopian socialism.It focuses on the three mentors who brought profound changes to his thoughts: Heidegger,Marx and Freud.It also inherits and develops the philosophical thoughts involved in the philosophical schools founded by the three mentors.Summarize the foundation of Marcuse utopian socialism.Chapter 3 focuses on Marcuse's social critical theory,and exposes the comprehensive alienation of human nature behind material abundance in multiple dimensions from the analysis of economic,political,and cultural fields.Marcuse stands at the forefront of capitalist society in a critical and practical way,combining his criticism of philosophy,culture,ideology and other theories with his criticism of the reality of capitalist society.Chapter 4 focuses on Marcuse's "Art-Aesthetics" thought,and combines the political practice of criticism of capitalist society and the revolution for the establishment of a new society with the aesthetic issues of perceptual liberation,and explores aesthetics The reconstruction role of thought in his later social critical theory.Marcuse's aesthetic theory embodies his own critical stance,and directs his criticism completely at the current capitalist society and contemporary advanced industrial society.This highly critical aesthetic theory incorporates human's advocacy of freedom,and The theory of human liberation is linked together,which shows that this ideological construction has always been at the core of Marcuse's philosophy.Chapter 5 From the early "German Art Fiction" as the academic starting point to the publication of his later masterpiece "The Dimension of Aesthetics",Marcuse's thought has experienced a cycle of "theory-practice-theory",which is a return to the early days.Interpretation of the theoretical framework.The "Aesthetic Dimension" firmly grasps the beauty of human nature,and uses human emancipation as the theoretical cornerstone to pave a path to construct a "Utopia".At the end of the article,a critical interpretation of Marcuse utopian socialist theory based on the perspective of Marxism,expounding the spiritual meaning and contemporary value of his theory.Today's society has created brilliant political civilization,economic civilization,and technological civilization.Under this background,Marxist theory has also been given a new definition,and its theoretical value has gradually sublimated.This is the general trend of the new era.An important way to develop Marxism is to learn from the various research results of Marxism abroad.Many positive and negative facts tell us: Understanding and studying various Marxist schools helps us to open up new horizons and develop new concepts.Enter a new realm.Among the colorful Marxist "Hundred Gardens" in the West,Marcuse's theoretical system is undoubtedly more eye-catching.Therefore,when studying foreign Marxist schools,it is reasonable to pay more attention to him and devote more energy.
