| Abstract | |
The objective of this dissertation is to study the appropriation of psychoanalysis by Herbert Marcuse, taking as its starting point an analysis of the concepts of surplus repression and the performance principle in Eros and Civilization: A Philosophical Inquiry into Freud. Marcuse would have derived these concepts from the Freudian Repression and the Reality Principle respectively, which do not correspond to the current stage of development of capitalist society anymore. With his conceptual reformulation, he rescues the Freudian theory to argue that a society which is less repressive is possible. This perspective presents a problem since Freud's times, but it suggests some ways of overcoming the repressive society, tends to a diagnosis of increased repression, to the point that the possibility of destruction of civilization. We intend to discuss this critical conceptual metamorphosis of Marcuse and its consequences. Our hypothesis is that such appropriation is plausible insofar as is consistent with the slope of the inaugural Critical Theory Horkheimer in their 1937 article, in which he states that the Traditional Theory can be appropriated by Critical Theory, provided we can historicizing concepts, bringing them ever to nowadays, to make the diagnosis of time (AU) | |
