Renowned Marxist scholar Michael Löwy offers an indispensable
assessment of an enduringly fascinating revolutionary. Vibrant,
insightful, and wide-ranging, Löwy’s essays illuminate the
heroic, tough-minded idealist and martyr, Rosa Luxemburg. Active in
the labor and socialist movements of Germany, Poland, and Russia,
Luxemburg had international standing as an original and
sharp-minded theorist during her life and remains one of the most
admired and studied revolutionaries in the Marxist tradition. Löwy
follows Luxemburg in blending diverse intellectual
disciplines—philosophy, history, political science, sociology,
anthropology, and economics—to make sense of global realities in
her time and our own. Luxemburg’s creative intellectual endeavors
were shaped by her genuine devotion to the free development of all
people, and her fierce opposition to all forms of tyranny and
authoritarianism. These commitments guided her analyses of
exploitation and mass struggle, the dynamics of trade unions and of
bureaucracy, the origins and impacts of economic crisis, the nature
of war and imperialism, and the interconnections of reform and
revolution. In accessible and stimulating prose, Löwy explores
Luxemburg’s many political and theoretical contributions, as well
as her links to revolutionaries including Karl Marx, Vladimir
Lenin, Antonio Gramsci, Georg Lukács, José Carlos Mariátegui,
and Leon Trotsky. Through Löwy’s expansive engagement with
Luxemburg‘s political trajectory and influence, we are able to
see her wrestle with political problems that remain relevant today.
