The Varieties of Praxis. Marx, Lukács, Feenberg, and Czechoslovak Marxism

Original language description

The chapter addresses the question as to whether East-Central European Marxism was a distinctive intellectual phenomenon by focusing on the case of Czechoslovak Marxism. It gives an affirmative answer, as it claims that philosophy of praxis makes up its conceptual core. In a first step, Czechoslovak Marxism is situated in a broader plane of East-Central European Marxism and contrasted with Western Marxism. Then, two important intellectual sources of Czechoslovak Marxism are discussed: Marx’s early project of practical Materialism and Lukács’s theory of revolutionary spontaneity. In a third step the claim is substantiated that until the appearance of Marxist humanism in the late 1950s, one cannot sensu stricto speak of any comprehensive philosophy of praxis within Marxism. Thereafter, it is argued that it was specifically Czechoslovak Marxist humanism that came up with a comprehensive philosophy of praxis, including a theory of subjectivity. After that, Marxist philosophy of praxis is confronted with existential phenomenology. In a final step, a critical eye is casted on Andrew Feenberg’s efforts to accomplish a synthesis of the Marxist philosophy of praxis and Heidegger’s philosophy.
