The essays and letters of Ervin Szab (1877-1918) present proof
of his critical insight into Marxist theory and of his perceptive
analysis of socialism around the turn of the century. His ideals of
an engaged social science and an enlightened socialism, his
preoccupation with the socialist future, are still relevant
today.
The writings selected in this work, first published in 1982, are
primarily those which address themselves to general issues of the
European working-class movement and socialist theory, but there are
also a few pieces that characterize the intellectual and political
climate of early twentieth-century Budapest. Szab was one of the
theoretical leaders of a whole generation of progressive thinkers
from Oscar J szi through Karl and Michael Pol nyi to Georg Luk cs
and many others. The almost insurmountable conflict between theory
and practice that characterized Ervin Szabo 's life remains a
problem that has to be solved by engaged intellectuals whatever the
time and place. Background notes and an introduction by the editors
help to place the writings in their historical and political
context.
