A new edition of a major philosophical work This remarkable text,
first published in 1964, was a landmark of its era and remains, in
the words of Michael Loewy, a work of "remarkable richness."
Drawing on Georg Lukacs' History and Class Consciousness, Lucien
Goldmann applies the concept of "world visions" to flesh out the
similarities between Pascal's Pensees and Kant's critical
philosophy, contrasting them with the rationalism of Descartes and
the empiricism of Hume. For Goldmann, a leading exponent of the
most fruitful method of applying Marxist ideas to literary and
philosophical problems, the "tragic vision" marked an important
phase in the development of European thought, as it moved from
rationalism and empiricism to the dialectical philosophy of Hegel,
Marx and Lukacs. Here he offers a general approach to the problems
of philosophy, of literary criticism, and of the relationship
between thought and action in human society.
