 Marcuse’s reading of Marx, Heidegger, Lukács, Korsch, and even Max Weber is based on his quest for radical or revolutionary subjectivity. Like Horkheimer and Adorno, Marcuse saw western society as moving in the direction of a totally administered society. His later notion of one-dimensionality was developed via his critique of such a society. However, he eventually became disillusioned with Heidegger.
