More about the book

Focusing on Lucien Goldmann's contributions to postwar French intellectual thought, this study explores his advocacy for socialist humanism amidst a crisis in Marxism during the 1950s and 1960s. Goldmann challenged the conventional Marxist perception of the proletariat and critiqued the structuralist and antihumanist trends prevalent in French leftist circles. Through his work, Cohen highlights Goldmann's call for a radical reinvention of Marxism to ensure its relevance and survival in changing political landscapes.
