Lukács' theory of the revolution and the institution
from human heteronomy to inhuman autonomy
pp. 229-245
Abstract
The present chapter deals with Lukács' theory of the revolution and his theory of the revolutionary organization. Here too Lukács' forthrightness reveals certain hitherto little noticed features of Marxian Communism. Lukács defines the revolution, and the organization which is to realize it, in a peculiar manner. This peculiarity is not due to the unorthodoxy of his views, to their departure from what the Marxian texts demand; rather it is connected with the revealing character of Lukács' theories. Lukács accentuates aspects of Marxism which his comrades preferred to leave dormant and undiscussed for good reasons.
