August 15, 1886 – October 21, 1961
A pivotal German Marxist theoretician, Karl Korsch, alongside György Lukács, was instrumental in establishing the foundations of Western Marxism during the 1920s. His intellectual contributions are characterized by a rigorous critique of Marxist theory and its potential application within contemporary societal structures. Korsch's work sought to bridge the gap between abstract theoretical frameworks and the imperatives of practical revolutionary action.

In Marxism and Philosophy Korsch argues for a reexamination of the relationship between Marxist theory and bourgeois philosophy, and insists on the centrality of the Hegelian dialectic and a commitment to revolutionary praxis. Although widely attacked in its time, Marxism and Philosophy has attained a place among the most important works of twentieth-century Marxist theory, and continues to merit critical reappraisal from scholars and activists today.
