The end of the Soviet period, the vast expansion in the power and
influence of capital, and recent developments in social and
aesthetic theory, have made the work of Hungarian Marxist
philosopher and social critic Georg Lukcs more vital than ever. The
very innovations in literary method that, during the 80s and 90s,
marginalized him in the West have now made possible new readings of
Lukcs, less in thrall to the positions taken by Lukcs himself on
political and aesthetic matters. What these developments amount to,
this book argues, is an opportunity to liberate Lukcs's thought
from its formal and historical limitations, a possibility that was
always inherent in Lukcs's own thinking about the paradoxes of
form. This collection brings together recent work on Lukcs from the
fields of Philosophy, Social and Political Thought, Literary and
Cultural Studies. Against the odds, Lukcs's thought has survived:
as a critique of late capitalism, as a guide to the contradictions
of modernity, and as a model for a temperament that refuses all
accommodation with the way things are.
