Marcuse, Heidegger, critical theory, historicity, phenomenologyAbstract
In the particular philosophical context of interwar Germany, the young H. Marcuse carried out an original Marxist reception of existential phenomenology and of Lebensphilosophie (I). In his first essays, «Contributions to a Phenomenology of Historical Materialism» (1928) and «On Concrete Philosophy», this reception was oriented to the project of elaboration of a dialectical phenomenology and, linked with it, to the attempt to ground the radical action in the ontological concept of historicity (Geschichtlichkeit) without neglecting its material component (II, III, IV). Also, in the situation of Dasein’s falling (Verfallen), Marcuse will grant an essential mission to concrete philosophy (V).
