This book sheds new light on the unique critiques of modernity offered by the school of thinkers associated with Georg Lukács, informed as its members’ insights have been by first-hand experiences of Nazism, Soviet socialism and the liberal-democratic West. Presenting studies of topics central to contemporary critical theory, authors draw on the works of Heller, Márkus and Fehér, demonstrating their enduring relevance to critical theory and the ways in which their thought can inform new perspectives on culture and politics.
Critical Theories and the Budapest School brings together new perspectives on the Budapest School in the context of contemporary developments in critical theory. Engaging with the work of the prominent group of figures associated with Georg Lukács, this book sheds new light on the unique and nuanced critiques of modernity offered by this school, informed as its members’ insights have been by first-hand experiences of Nazism, Soviet-type societies, and the liberal-democratic West.
With studies of topics central to contemporary critical theory, such as the political and historical consciousness of modernity, the importance of bio-politics, the complexity of the human condition, and the relevance of comedy and friendship to developing critical perspectives, the authors draw on the works of Ágnes Heller, Maria Márkus, György Márkus, and Ferenc Fehér, demonstrating their enduring relevance to critical theory today and the ways in which these philosophers can inform new perspectives on culture and politics.
An innovative reassessment of the Budapest School and the importance of its legacy, this book opens a much-needed and neglected dialogue with other schools and traditions of critical theorizing that will be of interest to scholars of sociology, philosophy, and social theory.
