The poet of impressive appearance. Attila József and alienation

According to Attila József "Marx's perception of history considered of four facts when he came stepped up. They were the principle of the historical development (Hegel), the new industrial technology, the working class unrest under its burden and the so-called utopian socialism, which was peaceful not militant, and which had a general human nature instead of proletarian one." In his opinion the socialism of the Marxism is humanism. "It is humanism but precisely the most human phenomena – mental disorders and neuroses – cannot be understood through it." – he says. That is why he turns to Freud and psychoanalysis.

Does this century look upon Attila József with support? The reception horizon of the beginning of the 21st century and the leftism of Attila József at the occasion of the book on Consciousness by György Tverdota
