Description



About the Book



"The definitive study of Lenin's political theory" (OBSERVER). Lukacs's study remains one of the very few to offer a profound account of Leninism as a body of thought and is indispensable to an understanding of the true contemporary significance of Lenin's life and work.



Book Synopsis



Out of the chaos following Lenin's death and the mounting fury against Lukács and his freshly penned History and Class Consciousness (1923), this book bears an assessment of Lenin as "the only theoretical equal to Marx." Lukács shows, with unprecedented clarity, how Lenin's historical interventions--from his vanguard politics and repurposing of the state to his detection of a new, imperialist stage of capitalism--advanced the conjunction of theory and practice, class consciousness and class struggle. A postscript from 1967 reflects on how this picture of Lenin, which both shattered failed Marxism and preserved certain prejudices of its day, became even more inspirational after the oppressions of Stalin. Lukács's study remains indispensable to an understanding of the contemporary significance of Lenin's life and work.

About the Author



Georg Lukács (1885-1971) was a Hungarian Marxist philosopher and literary critic. Most scholars consider him to be the founder of the tradition of Western Marxism. He contributed the ideas of reification and class consciousness to Marxist philosophy and theory, and his literary criticism was influential in thinking about realism and about the novel as a literary genre. He served briefly as Hungary's Minister of Culture following the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.
