What these developments amount to, this book argues, is an opportunity to liberate Luk cs's thought from its formal and historical limitations, a possibility that was always inherent in Luk cs's own thinking about the paradoxes of form. This collection brings together recent work on Luk cs from the fields of Philosophy, Social and Political Thought, Literary and Cultural Studies. Against the odds, Luk cs's thought has survived: as a critique of late capitalism, as a guide to the contradictions of modernity, and as a model for a temperament that refuses all accommodation with the way things are.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bewes Timothy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441164677\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441164674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.53d","brand":"Bewes Timothy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986199707903,"sku":"9781441164674","price":51.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_081e45ff-6a4f-4dd1-a8d2-02035de90deb.jpg?v=1683281949","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/georg-lukacs-bewes-timothy-9781441164674","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
