Abstract

Lukács' thought stands somewhere at the convergence of the Mandan and the Hegelian tradition of thought. Some people claim that Lukács is the greatest living disciple of Marx; others again that he is one of the most knowledgeable of the living Hegelians.¹ From these claims alone one could infer that Lukács is a synthetic exponent of the two nineteenth century thinkers who in so many ways dominate various trends of thought in the present century.
