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.
