Istvan Meszaros is a world-renowned philosopher and critic. He left
his native Hungary after the Soviet invasion of 1956. He is
professor emeritus at the University of Sussex, where he held the
chair of philosophy for fifteen years. Among his many books are
Social Structure and Forms of Consciousness Volumes I and II, The
Work of Sartre, The Structural Crisis of Capital, The Challenge and
Burden of Historical Time, Beyond Capital: Toward a Theory of
Transition, and Marx's Theory of Alienation. As John Bellamy Foster
writes in his foreword to the present book, "Istvan Meszaros is one
of the greatest philosophers that the historical materialist
tradition has yet produced. His work stands practically alone today
in the depth of its analysis of Marx's theory of alienation, the
structural crisis of capital, the demise of Soviet-style
post-revolutionary societies, and the necessary conditions of the
transition to socialism. His dialectical inquiry into social
structure and forms of consciousness - a systematic critique of the
prevailing forms of thought - is unequaled in our time." Meszaros
is the author of magisterial works like Beyond Capital and Social
Structures of Forms of Consciousness, but his work can seem
daunting to those unacquainted with his thought. Here, for the
first time, is a concise and accessible overview of Meszaros's
ideas, designed by the author himself and covering the broad scope
of his work, from the shortcomings of bourgeois economics to the
degeneration of the capital system to the transition to socialism.
