Ludwig Marcuse
was born in Berlin in 1894.
Immediately after the Reichstag
fire (1933) he emigrated to the USA,
became a US citizen in 1944 and
after years of destitution he became
professor for philosophy and German
literature at the University of
Southern California in Los Angeles.
As a brilliant stylist he suffered the
fate of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche:
philosophers saw him as a writer,
and writers considered him to be
a philosopher. After becoming an
emeritus professor, he returned to
Germany in 1963. He died in Munich
in 1971.
