O direito à luz de história e consciência de classe de György Lukács: uma leitura a partir do impacto da revolução russa

Abstract

Having as a departing point, the immanent analysis elaborated by the philosopher José Chasin from Marx and from the notes of György Lukacs present in The Destruction of Reason, we will analyze the determinations of Lukacs' Historia History and Class Consciousness. The main objective of this article is to clarify the role of law in this text, taking into account the scenario after the victory of the Russian Revolution. We aim to show that the Lukacsian reading of the legal sphere in such a work owes much to Max Weber's analysis while incorporating essential elements of Marxism. As a result, we can see that the most famous work of Hungarian Marxism, also with regard to Law, can only be understood in the context of the concrete function it exercises in the situation in which, at the same time, there is a revolution that has triumphed, and that is defended by Lukács. This leads the Hungarian author to a position in which he simultaneously criticizes the law (seeking, like Marx and Engels, its demise) and defends the creation of a socialist legal order, in which the Communist Party is central.
