Lukács and Sohn-Rethel facing the problem of ideology: an epistemological challenge?
Abstract
The purpose of this article will be to critically compare the approaches and modulations of the concept of ideology in György Lukács’s work History and Class Consciousness (1923), specifically in the most important essay entitled The Reification and Consciousness of the Proletariat, as well as the Hungarian philosopher's revision of this concept in the 1967 prologue to the same work and, on the other hand, in the work Manual Labor and Intellectual Labor. A critique of epistemology (1972) by Alfred Sohn-Rethel, and its prefiguration as a draft of his entire theoretical project in the text For the critical abolition of apriorism. A materialist investigation (1936).
