"One-Dimensional Man: A Study of the Ideology of Advanced Industrial Society" includes three parts: "One-Dimensional Society", "One-Dimensional Thought" and "Opportunities for Alternative Choices" in addition to the introduction. Through analysis and criticism of politics, life, thought, culture, language and other fields, the author points out how developed industrial society has successfully suppressed the negative, critical and transcendent dimensions in people's hearts, making this society a one-dimensional society and the people living in it have become one-dimensional people. Such people have lost their freedom and creativity and no longer imagine or pursue another life different from real life. This book makes a relatively profound exposure and exploration of modern capitalist society, but it exposes the utopian nature of its social critical theory. This book has important theoretical value for studying the development of the Lankfurt School and Marcuse's theory.
