In recent years, the works of György Márkus - a member of what has been dubbed the 'Budapest School' - have begun to generate an increasingly sophisticated and vibrant discussion. The present essay seeks to contribute to this burgeoning body of critical literature by offering a summary account and evaluation of the evolution of Márkus's thought from the critique of alienation developed during the 1960s through to his post-Marxist philosophy of culture in the latter decades of the 20th century. It does so with the intention of answering what is arguably the question confronting the contemporary reception of Márkus's body of work: in what relation do Márkus's later works stand to the aspirations and ideals of his early, more explicitly Marxist writings
