Infos

This remarkable text, first published in 1964, was a landmark of its era and remains, in the words of Michael L,wy, a work of "e;remarkable richness."e; Drawing on Georg Luk,cs' History and Class Consciousness, Lucien Goldmann applies the concept of "e;world visions"e; to flesh out the similarities between Pascal's Pens,es and Kant's critical philosophy, contrasting them with the rationalism of Descartes and the empiricism of Hume.For Goldmann, a leading exponent of the most fruitful method of applying Marxist ideas to literary and philosophical problems, the "e;tragic vision"e; marked an important phase in the development of European thought, as it moved from rationalism and empiricism to the dialectical philosophy of Hegel, Marx and Luk,cs. Here he offers a general approach to the problems of philosophy, of literary criticism, and of the relationship between thought and action in human society.
