This late work of aesthetics seeks to solve a puzzle that neither philosophy nor socialist politics was able to: the fundamental ethical question of what individuals and humanity as a whole ought to do. Art offers Lukács the already-existing means through which the damaged edifice of Marxism might be reconstructed on a durable basis on which to rest the philosophy, politics, and ethics of a non-Soviet-style Marxism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haymarket Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45415423967383,"sku":"9798888902097","price":3956.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798888902097.webp?v=1768587251","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-specificity-of-the-aesthetic-volume-1-9798888902097","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
