A propos du livre

Revue de presse

“The Hidden God was one of the major works of social science of Marxist inspiration of the 1950s; and it remains today a text of remarkable richness, opening up an impressive number of paths for reflection.”
—Michael Löwy

“It seems to me extraordinary, looking back, that I did not then [while writing The Long Revolution] know the work of Lukács or of Goldmann, which would have been highly relevant to it, and especially as they were working within a more conscious tradition and in less radical an isolation ... it is easy to imagine my feelings when I discovered an active and developed Marxist theory, in the work of Lukács and Goldmann, which was exploring many of the same areas with many of the same concepts, but also with others in a quite different range.”
—Raymond Williams, New Left Review

“One of the most important thinkers of the Marxist method in sociology, philosophy and literary criticism.”
—Ian Birchall, International Socialism

Présentation de l'éditeur

The concept of ‘world visions’, first elaborated in the early work of Georg Lukàcs, is used here as a tool whereby the similarities between Pascal’s Pensées and Kant’s critical philosophy are contrasted with the rationalism of Descartes and the empiricism of Hume. For Lucien Goldmann, a leading exponent of the most fruitful method of applying Marxist ideas to literary and philosophical problems, the ‘tragic vision’ marked an important phase in the development of European thought from rationalism and empiricism to the dialectical philosophy of Hegel, Marx and Lukàcs. The book is not a collection of isolated essays on Kant, Pascal, Racine, the status of the legal nobility in seventeenth-century France and the exact nature of the religious movement known as Jansenism, but an attempt to formulate, by an examination of these different topics, a general approach to the problems of philosophy, of literary criticism, and of the relationship between thought and action in human society.
