The first of six volumes to be published of Herbert Marcuse's collected papers. Each of these volumes are collections of previously un-published or uncollected essyas, unfinished manuscripts, and letters by Herbert Marcuse. The work collected in this volume should make clear the continuing relevance of Marcuse's thought to contemporary issues. The texts published here, dealing with concerns during the period 1942-1951, exhibit critiques of technology and analyses of the ways that modern technology produces novel forms of society and culture with new modes of social control. Much of the material collected in "Technology, War and Facism" provides exemplary attempts to link theory with practice, to develop ideas that can be used to grasp and transform existing social reality.
