High material civilization and spiritual pain have become the two extremes in the developed industrial civilization. The modern western philosophy and the scholars of the different groups were studied, on this issue, the Frankfurt school founded in 1920 s, is one of the schools of philosophy is of great theoretical contribution and influence. Herbert Marcuse(1898- 1979) as one of the main representatives of the Frankfurt school, he developed industrial society governance mechanism of analysis and research, think technology rational ideology has already become a new form of social control, all kinds of negative factors have been digestion or consolidation, the modern society and showed the one-way dimension. In the absence of negativity and transcendence of society and how to realize the complete human liberation, Marcuse was a utopian outlook, trying to through the aesthetic cultivation of "new sensibility" and "new sensibility" of the "new people", in order to achieve true liberation of the oppressed humanity.Modernity is the logical starting point of Marcuse’s political philosophy thought and discourse center, whose political philosophy is an existential expression of modernity. On the basis of Heidegger, Hagel, Freud, Marx, Hawke Heimo and Marcuse thought, analysis the new dilemma of contemporary developed industrial civilization, from a psychological point of view analysis of the science and technology control the masses political function and aesthetics preserve and lead to free political function, inherited the spirit of social criticism of Marxism. But Marcuse’s thought of political philosophy has its theoretical defects and utopian nature, mainly from the psychological and spiritual perspective to analyze the existing social, out of touch with the Marxist position, ignore the reality of social material production, and on the subject of revolution,it has been caught up in metaphysics, which make his political philosophy theory become a dream that can not be put into practice. Marcuse’s political philosophy provides a new perspective and a new idea for us to treat and solve the current social problems, which has important significance.
