Question

I'm looking for some of the more influencial philosophers that were considered "out there" in the sixties

Answer 1

Probably the most influential political philosopher of the 1960s was Herbert Marcuse closely followed by Timothy Leary of LSD fame (Tune in, Turn on, Drop out).

Herbert Marcuse was born in Berlin to a Jewish family, served in the German Army caring for horses in Berlin during the First World War. He then became a member of a Soldiers' Council that participated in the aborted socialist Spartacist uprising. Notably, the uprising was crushed by the Freikorps, a proto-fascist militia precursor to the Nazis. After completing his Ph.D. thesis at the University of Freiburg in 1922 on the German Kunstlerroman, he moved back to Berlin, where he worked in publishing. He returned to Freiburg in 1929 to write a habilitation with Martin Heidegger. Heiddegger, who was close to the Nazis, did not accept the completed manuscript, which was published in 1932 as Hegel's Ontology and Theory of Historicity. With his academic career blocked, in 1933 Marcuse joined the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research, emigrating from Germany that same year, going first to Switzerland, then the United States, where he became a naturalized citizen in 1940.

Although he never returned to Germany to live, he remained one of the major theorists associated with the Frankfurt School, along with Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno. In 1940 he published Reason and Revolution, a dialectical work studying Hegel and Marx.

During World War II Marcuse first worked for the U.S. Office of War Information (OWI) on anti-Nazi propaganda projects. In 1943 he transferred to the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). His work for the OSS involved research on Nazi Germany and denazification. After the dissolution of the OSS in 1945, Marcuse was employed by the US Department of State until 1951 as head of the Central European section, retiring after the death of his first wife in 1951.

In 1952 he began a teaching career as a political theorist, first at Columbia University and Harvard, then at Brandeis University from 1958 to 1965, where he was professor of philosophy and politics, and finally (already retirement-age), at the University of California, San Diego. He was a friend and collaborator of the historical sociologist Barrington Moore, Jr. and of the political philosopher Robert Paul Wolff. In the post-war period, he was the most explicitly political and left-wing member of the Frankfurt School, continuing to identify himself as a Marxist, a socialist, and a Hegelian.

Marcuse's critiques of capitalist society (especially his 1955 synthesis of Marx and Freud, Eros and Civilization, and his 1964 book One-Dimensional Man) resonated with the concerns of the leftist student movement in the 1960s. Because of his willingness to speak at student protests, Marcuse soon became known as "the father of the New Left," a term he disliked and rejected. His work heavily influenced intellectual discourse on popular culture and scholarly popular culture studies. He had many speaking engagements in the US and Europe in the late 1960s and in the 1970s. He died on July 29, 1979, after having suffered a stroke during a visit to Germany. He had spoken at the Frankfurt Römerberggespräche, and second-generation Frankfurt School theorist Jürgen Habermas had invited him to the Max-Planck-Institute for the Study of the Scientific-Technical World in Starnberg.

Many radical scholars and activists were influenced by him, for example Angela Davis and Abbie Hoffman. (See the List of Scholars and Activists link, below.) Among those who critiqued him from the left were Marxist-Humanist Raya Dunayevskaya, and fellow German emigre, Paul Mattick, who both subjected One-Dimensional Man to a Marxist critique. Marcuse's 1965 essay "Repressive Tolerance", in which he claimed capitalist democracies can have totalitarian aspects, has been vilified by conservatives. (See the Marcuse Haters Page) Marcuse argues that genuine tolerance does not tolerate support for repression, since doing so ensures that marginalized voices will remain unheard. He characterizes tolerance of repressive speech as "inauthentic." Instead, he advocates a discriminating tolerance that does not allow repressive intolerance to be voiced.

Answer 5

No Allah isn't a moon god. in case you should study Arabic you'll be able to distinguish between both further translated sounds of one million- the right call of God, Allah (genderless) and a couple of-the note al-enable (woman indicated through the silent T on the top). As for Muhammed pbuh no longer being remembered, the call itself is the most given call contained in the international. No call is extra primary than it. problematic to trust no man or woman recollects him for the reason that it somewhat is a real statistic. Who notices sensations at the same time as they are praying? i'm too concentrated on God to be conscious a lot of something. What does it mean to be "full of Gods spirit"? each and each of the years i turned right into a Christian I by no skill were given any sensations, nor full of God's spirit, Why did not i trust that a minimum of once in 20 years? Why do not you imagine a Muslims prayers are responded? I prayed for practise to the right faith (earlier i changed into Muslim at the same time as i changed into nevertheless Christian) and alhumdulileh, God lead me to Islam. I prayed for a husband, sturdy occupation, practise, youthful toddlers each and each of the time i changed into Christian and by no skill were given this stuff yet now that i'm Muslim I have all of them. i trust he waited to grant me those presents untill he set me on the right route so i'd not forget any of those awesome reviews. (no longer that being a Christian motives you to forget) All praise is as a results of Allah there is no longer something I did that would have presented those expereinces to me. If anybody in actual reality prays to God on my own no companions, he will answer their prayer. regardless of their faith. it really is only on His own time and in His own techniques. Why can not a Muslim pray anyplace they prefer? there is no rule as to the position we are able to and would't pray. except we would not be bowing our heads all the way down to the floor in a grimy position as an celebration a relax room.
