Abstract

This small edition of previously unpublished correspondence between Paul Tillich and Herbert Marcuse dates from late 1962 until Tillich's death. It provides a significant glimpse into a relationship in which the two left-leaning German intellectual émigrés debate responsible American social policy in the atomic age. Their common bonds (Frankfurt School, proximity of Harvard to Brandeis University, and personal ties) only partly bridge their perceived differences, and those of their spouses, Hannah and Ingeborg, in a situation in which Marcuse stands as the more outspoken critic of the United States.
