Abstract
Presented is an attempt of historical reconstruction of well known American-German philosopher and sociologist Herbert Marcuse’s views on metaphysics, as well as on ways of it’s cognition and critique. In the article presented is analysis of intellectual connections between Marcuse and other known philosophers and sociologists, i.e. Marcuse and Hegel, Marcuse and marxists (Marx, Engels, Lukach), Marcuse and Heidegger. Each case has different type of connection: Hegel as model for interpretation, Marx gives Marcuse understanding of metaphysics as objective effect of alienation, and from Heidegger Marcuse becomes the meaning of technic, which in Marcuse interpretation represents itself as aesthetic conceptualization of alienation.
