{"product_id":"9781474267410","title":"Georg Luk�cs's Philosophy of Praxis: From Neo-Kantianism to Marxism","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeorg Lukács' early Marxist philosophy of the 1920s laid the foundations of Critical Theory. However the evaluation of Lukács' philosophical contribution has been largely determined by one-sided readings of eminent theorists like Adorno, Habermas, Honneth or even Lukács himself. This book offers a new reconstruction of Lukács' early Marxist work, capable of restoring its dialectical complexity by highlighting its roots in Lukács' 'pre-Marxist' period. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTransitioning from the Hegelian tradition, he sought to resolve the incompatibilities within his philosophical thought through an individual process, or praxis. Consequently, Lukács discovered a more coherent and realistic answer to his philosophical dilemmas in Marxism. In his reading of historical materialism he combined non-idealist, non-systematic historical dialectics with an emphasis on conscious, collective, transformative praxis. Reformulated in this way Lukács' classical argument plays a central role within a radical Critical Theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47037862019312,"sku":"9781474267410","price":114.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781474267410_p0.jpg?v=1769893335","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781474267410","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
