Living space (Lebensraum) provides the junction point between an historical ontology and effective history.

Abstract
Living space (Lebensraum) provides the junction point between an historical ontology and effective history. It is, in a sense, the space where speculative influences originating from Heidegger, Dilthey, and Marx mould the background of Marcuse’s early thought. Generally speaking, living space proves that events do not obey their own idealized logic, but always participate in our own living experience. Thus, even when it gets reified, the notion of living space preserves in itself an element of freedom. This notion, that is more and more thought of in connection with work, becomes increasingly less pervasive, and eventually disappears from Marcuse’s works after 1933. But the motives that led to its conception still remain, and shall affect Marcuse’s later thought.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
