A Marxist and patriot, academic and politician, Kelles-Krauz was most known for his efforts to reconcile the needs of the nation with international socialism. This volume, however, offers a selection of his writings centred on the history of ideas, published for the first time in English. Kelles-Krauz’s works, while Marxist at heart, linked ideas stemming from the concepts of German idealists, French positivists, as well as contemporary sociologists who offered a bridge between research on individuals and the workings of social systems. Kelles-Krauz, however, repeatedly transcended Marxist tenets, focusing on the construction of traditions, social norms, and the social role of art.  This edited volume was first published in Polish as Kazimierz Kelles-Krauz: Marksizm a socjologia. Wybór pism by Wydawnictwa Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego in 2014. This current work has been revised and translated into English.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  A Revised Introduction to the English Edition: Kazimierz Kelles-Krauz’s Theory, Practice, and Purposeless Change. by Helena Chmielewska-Szlajfer  1 The Sociological Law of Retrospection: The Law of Revolutionary Retrospection as a Consequence of Economic Materialism  2 The Golden Age, State of Nature, and Development in Contradictions: From Studies into the Sources of Marxism  3 Comtism and Marxism: Positivism and the Monistic Comprehension of History  4 A Glance at the Development of Sociology in the 19th Century   5 The Crisis of Marxism: On the So-Called ‘Crisis of Marxism’  6 What is Economic Materialism?  7 A Few Main Principles in the Development of Art  8 Psychiatry and the Science of Ideas  9 The Social Dialectic in Vico’s Philosophy  Bibliography Directory of Persons Referenced Name Index Subject Index","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210671645015,"sku":"9789004297081","price":110.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/marxism-and-sociology-a-selection-of-writings-by-kazimierz-kelles-krauz-9789004297081","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
