Georg Lukacs and the Possibility of Critical Social Ontology (Paperback)

Georg Lukacs was one of the most important intellectuals and philosophers of the 20th century. His last great work was a systematic social ontology that was an attempt to ground an ethical and critical form of Marxism. This work has only now begun to attract the interest of critical theorists and philosophers intent on reconstructing a critical theory of society as well as a more sophisticated framework for Marxian philosophy.

This work will of special interest to social, moral and political philosophers as well as those who study critical theory, social theory and Marxism. It is also of interest to those working within the area of social ontology.
