Reitification
I like Lukacs' explanation of what the contemplative state is; that in which labor works in the system of capitalism and his lack of will is reinforced. Although he makes the human being a machine. If, as he said, Levinas degraded the human being to an ontological level he took it to a very materialistic state. I like his attacks on capitalism saying that it fragments an object and therefore a subject. I agree to a certain extent that the quality of labor (or of an object) should at certain times be valued more than its quantity.

Lukacs is a revisionist reactionary. He has no concept of Marxism, he views Marxism as some as some proletarianized liberal democracy. It is no surprise as how the Hungarian Socialist Republic nearly collapsed from pressure from Fascist elements in Hungary who were easily encouraged by De-stalinization and the adoption of his perverse psuedo-Marxist ideology in the government.
