- Summary:
- In this work, the late Marxist theorist and longstanding leader of the Socialist Workers Party (US), George Novack, offers a series of 11 essays defending the dialectical materialism of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Luxemburg and Trotsky, as the most valuable philosophical-scientific method for understanding and transforming society, politics, class relations, and other key issues. The essays take up important issues posed by both defenders and critics of scientific materialism, and specifically address the writings of such figures as Georg Lukacs, Leszek Lolakowski, Sebastiano Timpanaro, Jean-Paul Sartre and Lucio Colletti. A glossary and bibliography in Marxist philosophy is included. This is a paperbound edition of a work first published in 1978. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
