Stanislaw Brzozowski and the Polish Beginnings of 'Western Marxism' (Hardcover)

This book introduces the English-speaking reader to the thought of
Stanislaw Brzozowski (1878-1911), the outstanding Polish
philosopher and literary critic. Although practically unknown in
the West, Brzozowski is an important but neglected forerunner of
the intellectual tradition of `Western Marxism', most commonly
associated with Georg Lukacs and Antonio Gramsci. Concentrating
first on the early phase of Brzozowski's thought, Professor Walicki
goes on to analyse his ideas on the working class and its relation
to the intelligentsia and contemporary working-class ideologies.
Finally he deals with aspects of his thought which go beyond the
Marxian problematic and round off the intellectual portrait of the
man. Brzozowski's anti-naturalistic approach resulted in a radical
reinterpretation of Marxism which dealt with many of the problems
of the revolt against positivism in European philosophy. Professor
Walicki argues that the retrieval of the philosophical and humanist
aspect of Marxism, and its separation from the Engels-inspired
`scientific Marxism', was the achievement of Brzozowski and not, as
frequently assumed, of Lukacs, who came to similar conclusions only
some ten years later. By placing Brzozowski within the
cross-currents of the various philosophical, sociological,
literary, and political streams of Western and Eastern European
thought in which Marxism was situated, Professor Walicki produces a
fascinating study of an early East European challenge to orthodox
Marxism.
