Introduction

The texts in the block focus on the social theoretical and sociological aspects of the life’s work of György Lukács, 20th century Hungarian philosopher and aesthete. Although Lukács’s writings are typically regarded as works of literary theory and history, philosophy and aesthetics, sociological aspects are often present in them, and in many of his writings they play a conceptual role. The studies in this block are intended to support these claims with their varied themes and ideas.
