Beautiful Brilliance
Wow, wow, and wow!! The more I read Marcuse, the more I fall in love. His command of language is a rare gem combined with an unequalled intellect that deconstructs western consumerism and slavery of the human spirit. One of the most arresting moments of the book: his thoughts on obscenity. "Obscenity is a moral concept in the verbal arsenal of the Establisment, which abuses the term by applying it, not to the expressions of its own morality but to those of another." He illustrates this by stating that obscenity is not a work of art or a woman's genitalia, but a 4 star general or a clergyman espousing the virtues of war. The rest of the book is a beautiful treatise on how we have the power to truly liberate ourselves from the tyranny of consumerism and false consciousness.

I didn't get the title I ordered
This is the second time I try ordering "An essay on Liberation" by Herbert Marcuse and instead receive "Fit or Fat?" by Covert Bailey. The weird thing is, I ordered from two different providers...

Great read.
Marcuse was a great thinker and challenged every aspect of modern contemporary thought and philosophy, should be regarded as required reading.
