En savoir plus sur le livre

Focusing on Lucien Goldmann's impact on postwar French intellectualism, this study explores his advocacy for socialist humanism amidst a Marxist crisis. Unlike many leftists of his time who clung to orthodox Marxism, Goldmann argued for a radical reinvention of the ideology. He challenged conventional views of the proletariat and critiqued the structuralist and antihumanist trends prevalent in 1960s France, positioning himself as a pivotal figure in the evolution of Marxist thought.
