Georg Lukács
Georg Lukács was a Hungarian philosopher, literary critic, and Marxist theorist known for his influential works on aesthetic theory and social theory. He played a significant role in the development of Marxist thought in the 20th century, particularly through his concept of reification and the idea of totality in social analysis. Lukács was also involved in the short-lived Hungarian Soviet Republic in 1919, where he served as the People's Commissar for Education. His contributions to Marxist aesthetics and his critiques of capitalism have made him a key figure in critical theory.
