Description
György Lukács explores the relationship between consciousness and organization, drawing on the ideas of Luxemburg and Lenin. When the proletariat proclaims the dissolution of the existing social order, Marx reveals that this is merely a disclosure of the secret of its own existence. In this work, Lukács examines the role of theory in the revolutionary process. He argues that theory is the intellectual expression of the process itself, where every stage becomes fixed and generalizable. This theory serves as the necessary premise for the next stage, allowing the process to be communicated, utilized, and developed.
