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 Lukacs 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 Lukacs, less in thrall to the positions taken by Lukacs
himself on political and aesthetic matters. What these developments
amount to, this book argues, is an opportunity to liberate Lukacs's
thought from its formal and historical limitations, a possibility
that was always inherent in Lukacs's own thinking about the
paradoxes of form. This collection brings together recent work on
Lukacs from the fields of Philosophy, Social and Political Thought,
Literary and Cultural Studies. Against the odds, Lukacs'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.
