Eros and Civilization

[Kenneth MacKendrick]

Is there any particular reason why people don't pay much attention to 
Marcuse anymore? He usually gets tossed in with a Horkheimer and Adorno 
reference, sometimes even with Benjamin, but I've been studying EC lately 
and kind of wondered what happened with it. In particular, I've been 
looking at Habermas's critique, which doesn't seem to me to hold much water 
at all; he seems to have taken on board all disadvantages without any of 
the finer insights (like a nonlinguistic yet affective substratum a.k.a. a 
biological/historical 'second nature').

Any literature refs would be appreciated (I'm already familiar with Jessica 
Benjamin, Russell Jacoby, Joel Whitebook, Doug Kellner, Fred Alford, Morton 
Schoolman, Paul Robinson, Richard Bernstein, Patricia Mills, Benhabib and a 
few others) [and the usual FS historians, Jay, Wiggerhaus]...
