This study explores the evolution towards the “Sublation of Art” following Herbert Marcuse and the Counterculture in the American 1960s. Beginning his narrative with Baudelaire in the nineteenth century Paris revolts and ending up with cultural and social movements in the radical American 1960s, the author asks if the late Marcusean work, and specifically his socioaesthetic allegory of the forms, are key to understanding the origin and goals of the Counterculture. The study also focuses on the Marcusean “Dialectic of Liberation” and explores further the significance that the historical meeting of Marcuse and American Counterculture holds today.
