Abstract

Autor u svom radu razmatra aspekte Marcuseova shvaćanja kulture prije svega, njegove analize odnosa kulture i civilizacije. Taj je odnos, po Marcuseu, presudan za razumijevanje pozicije kulture u okviru moderne društvenosti. Marcuse pokazuje, prateći dijalektiku kulture i civilizacije, kako određeni imperativi imanentni sferi kulture bivaju amortizirani od strane »mehanizama civilizacije«, stječući status uzvišenih, ali i neobvezujućih ciljeva u odnosu na generalni kontekst reprodukcije građanskog svijeta.The author in this paper considers the aspects of Marcuse’s undrestanding of culture, in the first place his analysis on relations between culture and civilisation.
