	abstract = {<p>History and Class Consciousness: Studies in Marxist Dialectics (German: Geschichte und Klassenbewu{\ss}tsein: Studien {\"u}ber marxistische Dialektik) is a 1923 book by the Hungarian philosopher Gy{\"o}rgy Luk{\'a}cs, in which Luk{\'a}cs re-emphasizes Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel{\textquoteright}s influence on Karl Marx, analyses the concept of class consciousness, and attempts a philosophical justification of Bolshevism. History and Class Consciousness, which helped to create Western Marxism, is the book for which Luk{\'a}cs is best known, and some of his pronouncements have become famous. Nevertheless, History and Class Consciousness was condemned in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and Luk{\'a}cs later repudiated its ideas, and came to believe that in it he had confused Hegel{\textquoteright}s concept of alienation with that of Marx. It has been suggested that the concept of reification as employed in Martin Heidegger{\textquoteright}s Being and Time (1927) shows the strong influence of History and Class Consciousness, though such a relationship remains disputed.</p>
