Tactics and Ethics collects Georg Lukács's articles from the

most politically active time of his life, a period encompassing his

stint as deputy commissar of education in the Hungarian Soviet Republic.

Including his famed essay on parliamentarianism-which earned Lukács the

respectful yet severe criticism of Lenin-this book is a treasure chest

of valuable insights from one of history's great political philosophers.

Georg Lukacs (1885-1971) was a Hungarian Marxist philosopher and literary critic. Most scholars consider him to be the founder of the tradition of Western Marxism. He contributed the ideas of reification and class consciousness to Marxist philosophy and theory, and his literary criticism was influential in thinking about realism and about the novel as a literary genre. He served briefly as Hungary's Minister of Culture following the 1956 Hungarian Revolution.
