1 Seite, gr-8, mit eigh. Kuvert. - An eine ehemalige Kollegin vom amerikanischen Geheimdienst, die ihm in Bern Bücher besorgt hatte. "Dear Mrs. Parsons: I was awfully happy and surprised when I received the Guardini and Camus from Bern. It is really very nice of you to have remembered my wishes. But I have not yet received the bill. If you paid for the books, please let me know how much, and where I shall send the money. / What about coming back to Washington and taking again a job in BR? The outfit apparently expands and needs good people. If you don't want to return, drop a line telling us how you are. And many, many thanks for your efforts to get me the books. With best wishes, Yours very sincerely, Herbert Marcuse". Zunächst zum engeren Schülerkreis Martin Heideggers gehörend, emigrierte Herbert Marcuse 1933 in die Schweiz und im darauffolgenden Jahr in die Vereinigten Staaten. Dort kam es allerdings nicht zu der ursprünglich geplanten festen Zusammenarbeit mit Max Horkheimer und Theodor W. Adorno, den ebenfalls emigrierten Hauptvertretern der Frankfurter Schule. Marcuse nahm 1942 eine neue Stellung in Washington D.C. beim Office of Strategic Services (OSS), Amerikas erstem Geheimdienst, an. Dort war er mit Analysen der nationalsozialistischen Machtstrukturen, patriotischer Medienarbeit und Vorbereitungen für ein demokratisches Nachkriegsdeutschland beschäftigt. Anschließend arbeitete er für die 1946 gegründete Nachfolgeinstitution, das Bureau of Intelligence and Research, und danach bis 1951 für eine weitere Nachfolgeorganisation, das Committee on World Communism (CWC). Ab 1956 wurde Marcuse Professor für Philosophie und Politikwissenschaft an zwei amerikanischen Universitäten und nahm dazu auch eine außerordentliche Professur an der Freien Universität Berlin an. In den 1960er-Jahren beeinflusste er mit seinen Schriften und Vorträgen wesentlich die Studentenbewegung und wurde zu einer Galionsfigur der Neuen Linken. - Bei dem ihm zugesandten Buch des katholischen Religionsphilosophen Romano Guardini (1885-1968) könnte es sich um das 1946 erschienene Werk "Die Waage des Daseins. Rede zum Gedächtnis von Sophie Scholl und Hans Scholl, Christoph Probst, Alexander Schmorell, Willi Graf und Kurt Huber" handeln. BR meint vermutlich das Bureau of Intelligence and Research (heutige Abkürzung: INR). Briefe Marcuses aus seiner Zeit beim amerikanischen Geheimdienst sind äußerst selten. Signatur des Verfassers.

1 lettre dactylographiée signée 1 p. In-4 23 août 1969 Enveloppe conservée. En allemand. Bon Herbert Marcuse doit se rendre directement aux Etats-Unis et ne pourra passer par Paris, ce qui le désole car il aurait beaucoup aimé parler à Schöffer [Nicolas Miklos Schöffer (1912-1992), sculpteur et plasticien d'origine hongroise] et visiter son atelier. "[.] Was ich gefürchtet habe, ist leider eingetreten : ich muss direct nach den Vereinigten Staaten zurückfliegen, ohne mich noch, wie geplant, in Paris auch nur einem Tag aufhalten zu können. Dies tut mir umsomehr leid, als ich sehr gerne mit Herrn Schöffer gessprochen und sein Atelier aufgesucht hätte. Ich wäre Ihnen dankbar, wenn Sie ihm mein Bedauern und meine Entschuldigung übermitteln würden []". Philosophe et sociologue marxiste allemand, naturalisé américain. Il fut membre de l'École de Francfort.

First edition. 8vo (215 x 145mm). xii, 277, [1] pp. Original turquoise cloth, spine lettered in black, publishers device in black to front board, dust jacket (jacket slightly edge worn, otherwise a near fine copy). Boston, Beacon Press. A presentation copy, inscribed by the author 'To Dr. Abram L. Sachar With sincere regards, Herbert Marcuse November 1955' in blue ink to the front free endpaper. Abram L. Sachar (1899-1993) was the founding president of Brandeis University, where Marcuse held a professorship from 1954 to 1965, lecturing on the history of ideas, politics, social science, and philosophy, during which he published his two most important works - Eros and Civilization and One-Dimensional Man (1964). Marcuse's eleven years at Brandeis, and his relationship with Sachar, would end somewhat acrimoniously, in part due to Marcuse's public reactions to the foreign policies of the Johnson administration, which 'undoubtedly blunted Sachar?s enthusiasm for retaining on the Brandeis faculty an irritant who?quite conveniently?was approaching retirement age' (Whitfield, A Radical in Academe, p. 109).   One of the most influential products of the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory, Eros and Civilization formulated a philosophical system blending Hegelian logic with aspects of Marxist revolutionary praxis, along with an inversion of the concept of sublimation in Freudian psychoanalytic theory in which the dialectical progression of history is expression as a struggle against the repression of human desire.
