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.
