History and Class Consciousness

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the interplay between Hegel's philosophy and Marx's theories, particularly focusing on class consciousness and its implications for Bolshevism. It played a pivotal role in shaping Western Marxism and is recognized for its influential ideas, though it faced condemnation in the Soviet Union. Lukács later distanced himself from the book, acknowledging a misinterpretation of Hegelian alienation. Additionally, the concept of reification in Heidegger's work may reflect the impact of Lukács's analysis, though this connection is debated.
