The early Marx called for the "realization of philosophy" through
revolution. Revolution thus becomes a critical philosophical
concept for Marxism, a view elaborated in the later praxis
philosophies of Lukacs, and the Frankfurt School. These
philosophers argue that fundamental philosophical problems are, in
reality, social problems abstractly conceived. This argument has
two implications: on the one hand, philosophical problems are
significant insofar as they reflect real social contradictions; on
the other hand, philosophy cannot resolve the problems it
identifies because only social revolution can eliminate their
causes. Realizing Philosophy traces the evolution of this argument
in the writings of Marx, Lukacs, Adorno and Marcuse. This
reinterpretation of the philosophy of praxis shows its continuing
relevance to contemporary discussions in Marxist political theory,
continental philosophy and science and technology studies.
