Chapter: Charisma and Critique: Critical Theory, Authority, and the Critique of Political Theology
Just published: David Norman Smith (University of Kansas), "Charisma and Critique: Critical Theory, Authority, and the Critique of Political Theology", in "The Diversity of Social Theories", ed. Harry F. Dahms (Emerald Group Publishing Limited, October 2011: pp. 33-56).
Quote: "Marcuse broke with transcendentalism when he repudiated existentialism and political theology. He concluded that relying on any kind of charismatic savior, whether a class or a leader, is an abdication of sociological realism and political responsibility. Reaching this conclusion ... enabled him to assist Horkheimer in the elaboration of the founding principles of critical theory."
