Reviews

Materialist and formalist, realist and utopian, ontological and prophetic, militant and rebel, Gyorgy Lukacs remains a disturbing oxymoron to be interpreted - therefore transformed. In truly dialectical and dialogical manner, this books succeeds in doing just that, burying the verdicts of obsolescence, illuminating the ambivalences, and making again of the principle of totality which traverses the philosopher's writings a category for radically overturning an alienated society. -- Etienne Balibar, author (with Louis Althusser) of Reading Capital Reviewed in Radical Philosophy 171.
