Aesthetics and Politics
By Bertolt Brecht, Ernst Bloch, Georg Lukacs, Theodor Adorno, Walter Benjamin | Publisher: Verso Books
About the book
An intense and lively debate on literature and art between thinkers who became some of the great figures of twentieth-century philosophy and literature.
With an afterword by Fredric Jameson
No other country and no other period has produced a tradition of major aesthetic debate to compare with that which unfolded in German culture from the 1930s to the 1950s. In Aesthetics and Politics the key texts of the great Marxist controversies over literature and art during these years are assembled in a single volume. They do not form a disparate collection but a continuous, interlinked debate between thinkers who have become giants of twentieth-century intellectual history.
