Marcuse remained very distant to the idea of change in capitalist societies until the 1960s, he brought this distance with the idea of a one-dimensional society in his masterpiece of One-Dimensional Man. Having proceeded in line with the school about the critique of modern societies, Marcuse revised his theory under the influence od the student movements that had been on the rise since 1960s, and saw the possibility of social change in students and working classes, not in the proletariat. One can trace this transformation in Marcuse's thought in the lecture, which he dedicated to his colleague Hans Meyerhoff in 1968 and called Beyond One-Dimensional Man. Moreover, these views are important in terms of elucidating the themes in the later works of Marcuse. Having been overshadowed by Marcuse's other Works, this lecture is considered in this paper one of the touchstones in Marcuse's critical theory.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFrankfurt Schoolcritical theoryHerbert Marcuseone-dimensional manHans MeyerhoffArticle101179195WOS:000521802200010N/A
