Description of  Georg Luk cs and the Possibility of Critical Social Ontology (Studies in Critical Social Sciences)

Georg Lukcs was one of the most important intellectuals and philosophers of the 20th century. His last great work was a systematic social ontology that was an attempt to ground an ethical and critical form of Marxism.
