CONSIDERATIONS ON WESTERN MARXISM (NEW EDITION)

Book ID/图书代码： 13850016B93405

English Summary/英文概要： This synoptic essay considers the nature and evolution of the Marxist theory that developed in Western Europe, after the defeat of the proletarian rebellions in the West and the isolation of the Russian Revolution in the East in the early 1920s. It focuses particularly on the work of Lukács, Korsch and Gramsci; Adorno, Marcuse and Benjamin; Sartre and Althusser; and Della Volpe and Colletti, together with other figures within Western Marxism from 1920 to 1975. The theoretical production of each of these thinkers is related simultaneously to the practical fate of working-class struggles and to the cultural mutations of bourgeois thought in their time. The philosophical antecedents of the various school within this tradition—Lukácsian, Gramscian, Frankfurt, Sartrean, Althusserian and Della Volpean—are compared, and the specific innovations of their respective systems surveyed. The structural unity of ’Western Marxism’, beyond the diversity of its individual thinkers, is then assessed, in a balance-sheet that contrasts its heritage with the tradition of ’classical’ Marxism that preceded it, and with the commanding problems which will confront any historical materialism to succeed it.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 佩利安德森，英国《新左派评论》的主编，本书概述了西方马克思主义的发声、发展、主张、流派、特点和代表人物的基本情况。在他看来，西方马克思主义是第一次世界大战后欧洲资本主义地区武展阶级失败的产物，他是在社会主义理论和工人阶级革命时间之间逐渐分离的产物。本书除了前言后记外，共分为五章，分别是经典传统，西方马克思主义的出现，形式的转移，主题的创新和对比和结论，内容涵盖了马克思及其死后列宁、卢森堡对于马克思革命理论的继承，在此之后苏联受到斯大林的影响，马克思逐渐官方化后，在卢卡奇的影响下，逐渐转移到青年马克思的研究领域，德国、法国和意大利的研究者们不断强化西方传统与马克思的联系，从康德、黑格尔甚至是马基雅维利等的角度重新诠释马克思主义，并对于二战后马克思主义的发展产生了重要的影响，最后附论了托洛斯基。(Zoe)
