Georg Lukacs' early Marxist philosophy of the 1920s laid the
foundations of Critical Theory. However the evaluation of Lukacs'
philosophical contribution has been largely determined by one-sided
readings of eminent theorists like Adorno, Habermas, Honneth or
even Lukacs himself. This book offers a new reconstruction of
Lukacs' early Marxist work, capable of restoring its dialectical
complexity by highlighting its roots in his neo-Kantian,
'pre-Marxist' period. In his pre-Marxist work Lukacs sought to
articulate a critique of formalism from the standpoint of a dubious
mystical ethics of revolutionary praxis. Consequently, Lukacs
discovered a more coherent and realistic answer to his
philosophical dilemmas in Marxism. At the same time, he retained
his neo-Kantian reservations about idealist dialectics. In his
reading of historical materialism he combined non-idealist,
non-systematic historical dialectics with an emphasis on conscious,
collective, transformative praxis. Reformulated in this way Lukacs'
classical argument plays a central role within a radical Critical
Theory.
