However the evaluation of Luk?cs' philosophical contribution has been largely determined by one-sided readings of eminent theorists like Adorno, Habermas, Honneth or even Luk?cs himself. This book offers a new reconstruction of Luk?cs' early Marxist work, capable of restoring its dialectical complexity by highlighting its roots in his neo-Kantian, 'pre-Marxist' period. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his pre-Marxist work Luk?cs sought to articulate a critique of formalism from the standpoint of a dubious mystical ethics of revolutionary praxis. Consequently, Luk?cs discovered a more coherent and realistic answer to his philosophical dilemmas in Marxism. At the same time, he retained his neo-Kantian reservations about idealist dialectics. 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 Luk?cs' classical argument plays a central role within a radical Critical Theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Konstantinos Kavoulakos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474267410","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43273960161417,"sku":"9781474267410","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_bf948204-1cd0-4c64-8f68-4dc54ac5a2b7.jpg?v=1736843538","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/georg-lukcss-philosophy-of-praxis-from-neo-kantianism-to-marxism-9781474267410","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
