The productivity of the notion of singularity is argued to be based on the fact that it allows us to highlight the element of individual realisation, simultaneously stressing its distance from the modern conception of individuality.

Engaged with questions of realist and modernist world-views in art, the relations of literary history to politics, and the role of cultural intellectuals in public life, this book of essays collects some of Lukacs most influential writings. Translated into english for the time, these pieces offer a new look at one of the most significant Marxist thinkers of the twentieth-century.

Billions of men and women depend exclusively on their labor to survive.

Rethinking the central categories of Marx's work, this study provides a critical analysis of his political and theoretical development.

Includes Vogel's article, -Domestic Labor Revisited- which extends and clarifies her main theoretical innovations.
