| Jul 14, 2015 at 13:45 | comment | added | StoneyB on hiatus | @user127733 The conventional Marxist critique holds that since the 18th century the very category of Beauty has been appropriated by capitalist ideology, so to speak of Beauty is to position yourself within the capitalist aesthetic. (Note, please, that I specifically dissociated Marcuse from this critique.) | |
| Jul 14, 2015 at 13:11 | comment | added | user127733 | You say Marcuse believed in the Marxist capitalist definition of beauty in the 18th century. On the contrary, Steiner looked for a different kind of beauty that was somehow feminine. But, having said that, how Marxists can accuse Steiner of being an ally of capitalists (who seek wealth and power)? Maybe I am wrong about something? | |
