In the \u003ci\u003eThe Lukacs Reader,\u003c\/i\u003e his biographer Arpad Kadarkay represents the great range and variety of Lukacs's output, collecting work from four fields of activity: autobiography, drama and tragedy, art and literature, philosophy and politics - material for the most part not previously published in English. \u003cbr\u003e The reader includes, in original translations, and with introductory essays, Lukacs on: Kierkegaard, Shakespeare, Ford, Strindberg, Ibsen, Wilde, Shaw, Gauguin, Dostoevsky, Nietzsche, and Heidegger. Also collected are: the autobiographical 'On the Poverty of Spirit', material from Lukacs's diary, and such key articles as: 'Aesthetic Culture', 'The Ideology of Modernism', 'Bolshevism as an Ethical Problem', and 'Class Consciousness'.  \u003cp\u003eWhat emerges is a figure very much at the centre of European thought whose value to modern culture and philosophy differs markedly from that which received opinion generally admits.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arpad Kadarkay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42849997619261,"sku":"9781557865717","price":76.46,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9781557865717_43bad48a-c6f8-44fb-9564-ee562722ae7e.jpg?v=1767069263","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/the-lukacs-reader","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
