The Philosophy Of Praxis: Marx, Lukács And The Frankfurt School - Paperback
The Philosophy Of Praxis: Marx, Lukács And The Frankfurt School - Paperback
by Andrew Feenberg (Author)
The early Marx called for the "realization of philosophy" through revolution. Revolution thus became a critical concept for Marxism, a view elaborated in the later praxis perspectives of Luk cs and the Frankfurt School. These thinkers argue that fundamental philosophical problems are, in reality, social problems abstractly conceived.
Originally published as Luk cs, Marx and the Sources of Critical Theory, The Philosophy of Praxis traces the evolution of this argument in the writings of Marx, Luk cs, Adorno and Marcuse. Thisreinterpretation of the philosophy of praxis shows its continuing relevance to contemporary discussions in Marxist political theory, continental philosophy and science and technology studies.
