RESUMO

The present dissertation mainly aims at analyzing the concept of utopia in the work of Herbert Marcuse, taking as a guiding hypothesis the assertion that the faith Modernity has in the progress brought by clarification seems to have faded and therewith the great projects of social emancipation will no longer find a place in directing political struggles in modern times. This hypothesis will be analyzed in the light of Marcusean thinking, perceiving it as a consequence of what the author denominated one dimensional society, a social configuration, product of the development of Modernity, which has been able to absorb all forms of thinking that are contrary to it and impose itself as the only reality possible. Thus, the issue that directs the development of this masters thesis is the endeavor to clarify the philosophical status that the concept of utopia occupies in Herbet Marcuse s thinking, which has close ties with Hegelian Dialectics, as well as the correlation between utopic thinking and political action from the perspective of the Frankfurt philosopher
