Features: Lukács is a renowned contemporary international thinker from Hungary and one of the most influential Marxist theorists of the 20th century. His book "History and Class Consciousness," published in 1923, triggered significant international and lasting controversy. The author meticulously examines a series of controversial issues and focal points surrounding Lukács' philosophical thought within domestic academia. Based on Lukács' original works and his intellectual ideas with the historical conditions of his practical activities, the book not only actively affirms his groundbreaking theoretical explorations and fully evaluates his historical significance but also provides a detailed analysis of certain errors in his process of exploration. Given the long-standing atmosphere of indifference or criticism toward Lukács in China, the author proposes arguments in favor of Lukács from fundamental aspects. The appendix of this book translates or compiles papers by foreign scholars, Lukács' foreign-language works, a bibliography of Chinese translations of his works, and bibliographies of Chinese scholarly works on Lukács' thought. These materials are of great reference value for the study of Lukács and contemporary foreign Marxism.
