Culture and Modernity
Crisis and Reform in Eastern Europe
Communism in Eastern Europe is in crisis. Its dimensions are social and economic; its manifestation is political. This volume, a collection of essays by leading authorities, describes the symptoms of the crisis, diagnoses the causes of the malady, and offers alternative scenarios for therapy. A unique dimension of this collection is its avoidance of one-dimensional explanations. The contributors approach the subject from very different angles, an…

O pêndulo da modernidade
O bicentenário da Revolução Francesa, em 1989, e as revoluções anti-totalitárias da Europa Oriental entre 1989 e 1991 levam os autores a interpretar a modernidade através da metáfora do pêndulo, utilizada para denotar a dinâmica do atual ordenamento social, pluralista e autônomo e que oscila, sem nunca parar, entre radicalismo e moderação. Para fazer uma diagnose do auto-conhecimento dos indivíduos modernos, o texto analisa questões referentes à …

Why Liberty Is Devoured by Reason in History
The Grandeur and Twilight of Radical Universalism
This volume provides theoretical construction to the extraordinary events that resulted in the collapse of communism worldwide. The authors attribute a great deal of the problems of totalitarianism to its blind acceptance of a Marxist philosophy of practice. With the failure of communist practice, the collapse of the Marxist paradigm was quick to follow. At its roots, this volume is a critique of the idea that we can have scientific knowledge of …
The French Revolution and the Birth of Modernity
Written from widely different perspectives, these essays characterize the Great Revolution as the dawn of the modern age, the grand narrative of modernity. The scope of issues under scrutiny is extremely broad, ranging from the analyses of the hotly debated class character of 1789 and the problem of the nation state to the Cult of the Supreme Being, the emancipation of the Jews, and the cultural heritage of the Revolution

From Totalitarian Dictatorship through "Rechtsstaat" to Democracy
On Making Central Europe
Hermeneutic As Europe's Mainstream Political Tradition
Dictatorship over Needs
From Red to Green
The most important systematic analysis of social movements to date has been Touraine's The Voice and the Eye. Here, one can almost paraphrase Marx's famous dictum: for the French sociologist, the history of all societies is a history of movements. In identifying movements with social classes, Touraine negotiates a radical turn from system theories to a strong version of action theory and breaks with the Procrustean framework of an Althusserian-Po…

Redemptive and Democratic Paradigms in Radical Politics
Two methodological remarks are needed at the outset. First, while I am going to treat the redemptive paradigm in full, I will — for obvious reasons of length — analyze the democratic paradigm only insofar as it is related to the alternative under discussion. Second, under the heading of “redemptive paradigm in radical politics,” I will address both left and right political theories. It is, however, only to the degree that conservatives embrace th…

On Being Anti-Nuclear in Soviet Societies
This paper seeks to substantiate a prediction that runs counter to die cherished hopes, illusions or, sometimes, even delusions of the Western peace movement. Stated boldly our prediction runs as follows: of all the possible autonomous social movements, the anti-nuclear movement is the one least likely to become of any consequence and least likely to exert an impact on the future course of Soviet societies. In a somewhat more cautious formulation…
The Swan Song of German Khrushchevism, with a Historic Lag
With unerring hands German literary criticism has inadequately characterized Peter Weiss' novel Die Asthetik des Widerstands. Critics have compared it to Joyce and Musil, to the roman fleuve, to the paradigmatic aggregates of free associations, whereas any attentive reading of the text would convince us that Weiss neither had, nor intended to have, anything to do with the arabesques of associations. A very consistent, sometimes even mathematicall…
The Antinomies of Peace
The new peace movements present a number of dilemmas. On the one hand, there are some accumulated experience and principles which can still serve as standards to criticize not the illusions but the (often-deliberate) self-delusions of peace movements. On the other hand, these movements have obviously raised a number of questions which had not been part of Left theoretical discourse and political strategy, and which have to be confronted in order …
Is the Novel Problematic? A Contribution To the Theory of the Novel
The 19th century is the period of the triumph of the novel: “the bourgeois epic” leaves behind all of its aging competitors. Not only are there tireless efforts to revive epic poetry, a non-novelistic genre, but artistic judgment (often even that of the great novelists themselves) is full of doubts with respect to the triumphant new genre. In the midst of the modern world there is an unremitting search for epic materials. Thus, Frank Norris is co…

Forms of Equality
A spectre haunts the industrialized world—the spectre of egalitarianism. Demands to equalize the First and Third Worlds or to reduce needs to bring about social equality are articulated by movements and theories which keep “social equality” on the agenda. But, as we will try to show, a consistently implemented egalitarianism is a myth. All attempts to realize it as a general principle of social organization in a context of even minimal industrial…

Toward a Post-Machiavellian Politics
The political science professor in Fail Safe who irresponsibly advised his government in predicting the death of 60 million to 100 million people, arrogantly answered inquiries about the moral foundation of his politics by saying, “I am not a poet, I am a political scientist.” Something, however, has changed after World War II and this has turned the set of political principles characterized as “Machiavellian realism” into dangerous and irrespons…
Kadarism as the Model State of Krushchevism
Is there such a thing as “Kadarism”? Is Kadar's regime in Hungary different from that of Ulbricht, Honecker, Zhivkoff, Georghiu-Dej, Ceausescu, Gomulka, Gierek, Novotny, Husak or Hoxha? Or is “Kadarism” nothing but a journalistic catchword? Two problems encumber any attempt to answer these questions. The first is that it is strictly forbidden in all Eastern European countries to identify any regime with its actual leaders. In Kadar's case, the fa…
Lukacs in Weimar
Classic or classicist personalities are characterized by the creation of norms which are subsequently imposed on their age as paradigms. In the above sense and in the humble guise of a mere interpreter of Marx, Lukacs was already a classic in the twenties: friends and foes alike admit that History and Class Consciousness was the single major contribution to the history of Marxism as philosophy since Marx's death. But the framework outlined in His…
Comedy and Rationality
The following is a study of the relation between the rational and the comic in modern comedy in terms of recurring types of human behavior, patterns of rational attitude and their problems. As all great analysts of the comic have argued, laughter, the ridiculous, thesatyrical, the ironical, and the like, both in life and in literature, are inextricably related to rationality. Without indulging in extensive definitions, it is clear that comic phen…

The Pan-Tragic Vision
U P TO THE PRESENT DAY, Dramengeschichte has not been accessible to European reader. Lukacs's most celebrated early work devoted to drama, Metaphysik der Tragodie of 1910 (also of significance in French culture, since Lucien Goldmann based his major study in literary sociology, Le dieu cache, upon it), is not, however, a continuation, but a flat contrast to great historical work. The basic conceptions are poles apart. We have seen that Geschichte…
