Dialectics of the Concrete

Dialectics of the Concrete is a unique philosophical text that has been the subject of discussions all over the world, especially in Europe, since its first publication in the early 1960s. The book covers basic Marxist concepts; It re-examines with a critical reading of existentialism, systems theory, phenomenology, critical theory and "orthodox" Marxism.

Opening the book with a discussion of the "dialectics of the concrete whole", Kosík develops a critique of positivism, phenomenal empiricism and "metaphysical" rationalism; He puts "dialectical rationalism" against these. He discusses the Marxist philosophy of science based on the subject-object relationship; It extends from the dialectic of "man and thing" to the categories of praxis, history and freedom. This analysis is crowned with "a phenomenological Marxism of a quality not achieved since the early works of Marx and Lukács" (Paul Piccone).

Dialectics of the Concrete is a unique resource for readers who are interested in both the relationship between Marxism and philosophy and the methodological discussions underlying the most central problems of modern philosophy.
