In his work An Essay on Liberation (1969), Marcuse re-examines topics he had previously investigated in the light of the events of the late 1960s. An Essay on Liberation is intended to ground the human need of freedom on a biological foundation. In view of this, Marcuse highly praises the concept of sensibility, in that it portrays at once opposition to the establishment and affirmation of the desire of freedom. This article is based on the recognition that that there are conceptual problems in Marcuse’s theoretical commitment to freedom and in his conception of socialism.
