Georg Lukács's "History and Class Consciousness" is a landmark work in Western Marxism, exploring the relationship between history, class consciousness, and revolutionary praxis.

Lukács's work challenges traditional Marxist interpretations of history and emphasizes the role of subjective experience in shaping social reality.
His ideas have had a lasting impact on critical theory and Marxist thought.
