Actual book is pictured. This book is in Italian. Guido Oldrini's work on Georg Lukács is a deep dive into the life, philosophy, and critical theory of one of the 20th century's most influential Marxist thinkers. Lukács, a Hungarian philosopher and literary critic, played a pivotal role in the development of Western Marxism, particularly through his contributions to aesthetics, ethics, and the theory of reification. Oldrini's examination of Lukács focuses on his philosophical evolution, starting from his early engagement with German Idealism, through his pivotal encounter with Marxism, to his critical analyses of class consciousness, historical materialism, and the role of culture and literature in society. One of Lukács's most significant contributions, the concept of reification, which deals with the ways in which capitalist society transforms social relations into objectified forms, is explored in depth. The book also delves into Lukács's contributions to literary criticism, particularly his theory of the novel and his critical assessments of writers like Thomas Mann and Leo Tolstoy. Oldrini pays close attention to Lukács's method of analyzing literary texts, which emphasizes the socio-historical contexts that shape both the creation and reception of literary works. For those interested in Marxist philosophy, literary theory, or the intellectual history of the 20th century, Oldrini's work on Lukács is an invaluable resource. It not only provides a comprehensive overview of Lukács's theoretical contributions but also situates his work within the broader debates and developments of Marxist theory during his time. Exploring Lukács through Oldrini's lens offers readers a nuanced understanding of how critical theory can illuminate the complexities of society, culture, and politics. Whether you're a student, an academic, or simply curious about the intersections of philosophy and literature, this book will enrich your understanding of one of Marxism's key figures.
