Goldmann, Lucien — Human Sciences and Philosophy (Cape Editions 30)

Jonathan Cape, London, 1969. First Edition, Softcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. 9780224615488 "The Human Sciences and Philosophy" by Lucien Goldmann is a 1969 work that explores methodological approaches to the human sciences, arguing for a synthesis of Marxist theory, Lukács's concepts, and the work of Jean Piaget to understand societies and their literary expressions. Goldmann proposes a concept of "expressive totality" to analyze how cultural and literary forms are determined by their underlying economic and social structures, using his own work on Pascal and Racine as examples. The book is a translation of his French work "Sciences humaines et philosophie", presenting a unified framework for understanding the human condition through a combination of idealism and Marxism.
