Abstract
Abstract This article is mainly concerned with the analysis and evaluation of Marcuse's conceptualisation of freedom. Marcuse differentiates between the realm of freedom and freedom itself — which exists independently of the realm of freedom. The point is made that freedom from want is the substance of all other forms of freedom. The article subsequently focuses on the theoretical and practical considerations of Marcuse's dialectic, followed by a consideration of the factors that limit the possibilities for the attainment of freedom. Man's movement to freedom, a new genesis for all men, is symbolised in the end of alienation. The article concludes with some points of criticism on Marcuse's use of the dialectic, his belief in the power of destruction, and his idea of conversion.
