RESUMO

The project of philosophy of psychoanalysis in Eros and Civilization presents a critical theory of the libidinal economy of advanced industrial society, that is configurated upon the anxiety of a cultural structure, in which the possibilities of gratification of desires are soon prevented by the fatal dialectics of the logic of domination. Such a choice reflects an intelectual trajectory that was always inquired about a revolution that never happened. Since his youth, Marcuse tried to stablished steady bases to this revolutionary perspective. And exactly for this reason, the philosopher was lead to dial with the phenomenological ontology of Heidegger, incorporating fundamental existencial questions, above all, that of the relations between man and the world. It does not mean a direct filiation between Marcuse and the heideggerian thought, but a relation full with divergences. Otherwise, this intelectual trajectory doesn´t develop from a removal of ontology, like many commentators propose, giving a value to an anthropological view in Marcuse. Our research points towards the deeping of the ontological discourse by the philosopher, no more based on the positive empting of Dasein, but on the negative concretude of the historical dynamics. This ontology reachs deep layers of the history of domination, the archeology of which is showed by the psychoanalytical theory of instincts. Eros and Civilization reaches then the boudary between nature and culture and finds there, not only the logics of domination, but also the possibilities of its overcoming formulated in terms of a logics of gratification in an unrepressive civilization.
