The Marxism of Utopia: An Introduction to Ernst Bloch with The LitCritGuy


Listen Later

In the search for new weapons, history itself becomes an arsenal of struggles. In the material processes of world history, one finds the principle of hope. These ideas are central to the work of the German Marxist Ernst Bloch, and on this episode Jon AKA TheLitCritGuy from Horror Vanguard and Profane Illuminations and B from Zer0 Books join Will and Adam in exploring and introducing his vast corpus. We discussed Bloch's theory of Utopian Hope, his relationship to Hegelian Marxism and Lukacs, and the theology of revolution.


We based our talk on Jon's essay "A Primer on Utopian Philosophy: Marxism and Utopian Struggle", you can check it out and support Jon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/primer-on-and-76597996
