          Abstract

          Abstract Recently, Critical Theory has been revisited due to the relevance of its critique of contemporary forms of alienation. This critique allows the unveiling of structural ele- ments of contemporary ways of life, offering an accurate analysis of the material and subjective causes of the current environmental crisis. An example of this contribution is Herbert Marcuse’s book Counterrevolution and Revolt, published in 1972. This article addresses the relationship between aesthetics and political ecology established in the main theses of Marcuse’s book. The objective is to present how Marcuse employs the German philosophical tradition, more specifically elements of Kant’s Critique of the Power of Judgment and Marx’s Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts, to constitute a conceptual project of emancipation based on what he calls the aesthetic dimension. The article concludes by claiming that Marcuse’s critics and formulation entail a double requirement in which the field of Aesthetics has a central role.

          Resumen La Teoría Crítica ha sido revisitada debido a la relevancia de su crítica de las formas contemporáneas de alienación. Esta crítica permite desvelar elementos estructurales de los modos de vida contemporáneos, ofreciendo un análisis preciso de las causas materiales y subjetivas de la actual crisis ecológica. Un ejemplo de esta contribución es el libro de Herbert Marcuse Contrarrevolución y revuelta, publicado en 1972. Este artículo aborda la relación entre estética y ecología política establecida en las tesis principales del libro. El objetivo es presentar cómo Marcuse emplea la tradición filosófica alemana, sobretodo elementos de la Crítica de la facultad de juzgar de Kant y de los Manuscritos económicos y filosóficos de Marx, para constituir un proyecto de emancipación basado en una dimensión estética. El artículo concluye afirmando que la formulación de Marcuse comporta una doble exigencia en la que el campo de la Estética desempeña un papel central.
