History and Class Consciousness

Více o knize

Focusing on the interplay between Hegel and Marx, this influential work delves into class consciousness and offers a philosophical defense of Bolshevism. It played a pivotal role in shaping Western Marxism, establishing Lukács as a key thinker. Despite its impact, the book faced condemnation in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, leading to Lukács' later disavowal of its ideas. The concept of reification presented in this text has also sparked discussions regarding its influence on Martin Heidegger's philosophy, although this connection remains contested.
