Lucien Goldmann

    June 20, 1913 – October 8, 1970

    Lucien Goldmann was a French Marxist theorist who bridged sociology and philosophy. His work delved into profound questions of human existence and society, often emphasizing the relationship between the individual and the collective. Goldmann sought to understand how philosophical and literary ideas are shaped within specific social and historical contexts. His approach offers a unique perspective on the interconnectedness of the human inner world and external societal structures.

      L'idée centrale de l'ouvrage est que les faits humains constituent toujours des structures significatives globales, à caractère à la fois pratique, théorique et affectif, et que ces structures ne peuvent être étudiées de manière positive, c'est-à-dire à la fois expliquées et comprises, que dans une perspective pratique fondée sur l'acceptation d'un certain ensemble de valeurs.

      Georg Lukacs wrote The Theory of the Novel in 1914-1915, a period that also saw the conception of Rosa Luxemburg's Spartacus Letters, Lenin's Imperialism: The Highest Stage of Capitalism, Spengler's Decline of the West, and Ernst Bloch's Spirit of Utopia. Like many of Lukacs's early essays, it is a radical critique of bourgeois culture and stems from a specific Central European philosophy of life and tradition of dialectical idealism whose originators include Kant, Hegel, Novalis, Marx, Kierkegaard, Simmel, Weber, and Husserl.The Theory of the Novel marks the transition of the Hungarian philosopher from Kant to Hegel and was Lukacs's last great work before he turned to Marxism-Leninism.
