Description: Very Good: Has been read but is in very good condition. Minor wear on cover. No tears, no writing, no highlighting, no missing pages. Actual book is pictured. "Defence of History and Class Consciousness: Tailism and the Dialectic" by Georg Lukács is a theoretical work that delves into Marxist philosophy and addresses critiques of his earlier work, "History and Class Consciousness." This book was written several decades after his seminal texts as a response to the criticism he received from the Soviet authorities and other Marxist theorists.In "Defence of History and Class Consciousness," Lukács defends his original ideas about class consciousness and reiterates the importance of dialectical methodology in understanding and transforming society. He addresses the concept of "tailism" (the Russian derogatory term "khvostism," meaning "tail-end-ism"), which he uses to criticize the Communist Party's policies that, according to him, merely followed the working class's spontaneous movements without offering a revolutionary direction.This work is quite dense and assumes a familiarity with Marxist theory and Lukács’s own previous writings. It's particularly valuable for those deeply engaged with Marxist theory, looking to explore the evolution of Lukács's thoughts and his defense against orthodox Soviet Marxism.
