Marcuse(as the philosopher whose framework is being criticized): Herbert Marcuse was a 20th-century philosopher who argued that modern capitalist societies manipulate people into thinking they're happy and free, when really they're being controlled by powerful institutions.
empirical adequacy(Distinguished from full accuracy in that the degree of accuracy required depends on pragmatic considerations): The requirement that theories account for observations; a constraint that all legitimate research programs must satisfy
framework(Carnap's philosophy of language and logic): A structured system of rules or language that must be in place for rational discourse to be possible.
ideologically distorted(as used in Marcuse's dismissal of reported satisfaction): Information or beliefs that have been twisted or shaped by someone's political or social agenda, rather than representing reality as it actually is.
