  • More about Georg Lukacs and the Possibility of Critical Social Ontology

Georg Lukács was a 20th-century philosopher who developed a systematic social ontology to ground an ethical and critical form of Marxism. This collection of essays explores his ideas and how they can help us construct a more grounded and socially relevant form of social critique. Contributors include social, moral, and political philosophers, as well as those studying critical theory, social theory, and Marxism.

Georg Lukács was a towering figure in the realm of 20th-century intellect and philosophy, leaving an indelible mark on the world of ideas. His magnum opus, a comprehensive social ontology, was a groundbreaking endeavor to establish an ethical and critical foundation for Marxism. However, it has only recently garnered the attention of critical theorists and philosophers who are dedicated to rebuilding a critical theory of society and developing a more sophisticated framework for Marxian philosophy.

In this collection of essays, we delve into the concept of critical social ontology as envisioned by Georg Lukács and explore how his ideas can shape our understanding of social critique. This work holds immense value for social, moral, and political philosophers, as well as those who study critical theory, social theory, and Marxism. It is also of interest to those engaged in the field of social ontology.

Contributors to this volume include a diverse group of esteemed scholars, each bringing their unique perspectives and expertise to the table. Among them are Mario Duayer, Andreas Giesbert, Christoph Henning, Antonino Infranca, Reha Kadakal, Endre Kiss, Michael Morris, Michalis Skomvoulis, Matthew J. Smetona, Titus Stahl, Thomas Telios, Michael J. Thompson, Murillo van der Laan, Miguel Vedda, and Claudius Vellay.

Their insights and contributions shed light on the profound implications of critical social ontology and its potential to shape our understanding of society and the world around us. This work is a testament to the enduring legacy of Georg Lukács and his profound contribution to the intellectual landscape of the 20th century.
