Abstract
Marx's meaning of materialism as well as the extent of Hegel's influence on his thought has been in the center of controversy among Marxists ever since the publication in 1923 of Lukács' History and Class Consciousness and Korsch's Marxism and Philosophy with the Frankfurt school, including Marcuse, embracing the Hegelian interpretation. The controversy has resurfaced within the Frankfurt school in Habermas' critique of Marcuse's concept of a "new science and new technology." Agger's analysis leads him to the conclusion that it is Marcusé's position which reflects the thinking of Marx while Habermas' rejection of Marcuse's antipositivistic attack logically implies an un-Marxian political reformism.
