Herbert Marcuse was one of the leading intellectuals of the 1960s, and did more than perhaps any other philosopher to shape the intellectual foundations of the counterculture.
In this episode, I include first an interview between Bryan Magee and the man himself, and then afterwards and always punchy analysis by the fantastic Rick Roderick.
