Herbert Marcuse (July 19,1898 – July 29,1979) was a prominent German-American philosopher and sociologist of Jewish descent, member of the Frankfurt School.
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, which was ultimately crushed by the forces of the Weimar Republic. After completing his Ph.D. thesis at the University of Freiburg in 1922 on the Germany Kunstlerroman, he moved back to Berlin, where he worked as a bookseller. He returned to Freiburg in 1929 to write a habilitation with Martin Heidegger. In 1933, since he would not be allowed to complete that project under the Nazis, Marcuse joined the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research run by Max Horkheimer and emigrated from Germany that same year, going first to Switzerland, then the United States, where he became a naturalized citizen in 1940.
