Throughout his life he dealt with issues of history and modernity, Marxist philosophy, and the critique of ideology, philosophical anthropology, and aesthetics. In this volume, author and Kofler biographer Christoph Jünke elucidates the contours of his philosophy of praxis, traces an arc from the socialist classics to postmodernism, and outlines the socialist humanist thinker's enduring relevance. The book also includes six essays by Leo Kofler published in English for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main work was first published in German as \u003cem\u003eLeo Koflers Philosophie der Praxis: Eine Einführung in sein Denken\u003c\/em\u003e by Laika Verlag, 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface to the English Edition\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 A Border Crosser of the Twentieth Century\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 From Classical Socialism to the Critique of Neoliberal Globalisation: Leo Kofler’s Marxism as Theory Intended for Practice\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 Kofler’s Critique of Stalinism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 Socialist Humanism, Human Nature and Marxist Anthropology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 The Debate over a Marxist Aesthetics: Going beyond Adorno and Lukács with Kofler and Lefebvre\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 Pseudo-Nature and Pseudo-Critique: Krahl, Kofler, and the Critique of the Frankfurt School with the Intention of Practice\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTimetable of the Life and Work of Leo Kofler\u003cbr\u003eIllustrations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppendix: Six Essays by Kofler:\u003cbr\u003eOn Freedom [1951]\u003cbr\u003eLiberalism and Democracy [1959\/1972]\u003cbr\u003eThe Progressive Elite [1959]\u003cbr\u003eThe Concept of Society in Historical Materialism [1956]\u003cbr\u003eThe Three Main Stages of Dialectical Social Philosophy [1966]\u003cbr\u003eThe Anthropology of Consciousness in the Materialism of Karl Marx [1983]\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haymarket Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51359881298263,"sku":"9781642597875","price":25.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781642597875.jpg?v=1754125997","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/leo-kofler-s-philosophy-of-praxis-western-marxism-and-socialist-humanism-with-six-essays-by-leo-kofler-published-in-english-for-the-first-time-9781642597875","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
