Even when Georg Lukács's texts are governed by a redemptive notion of form, and even when his critique of the modernist hypostatization of form from today's perspective seems misguided and ideological, it is still possible to use his insights in order to theorize what Fredric Jameson has called "a new realism." At the center of Schulenberg's discussion of Lukács's work in this chapter is therefore the following question: How to resuscitate a metaphysical thinker, or materialist metaphysician, in postmetaphysical times? Although Schulenberg's reading of Lukács is at least partly influenced by contemporary critiques of representationalism and foundationalism, he at the same time argues that rereading this Marxist philosopher in the twenty-first century urges us to retheorize those concepts and categories we thought we would not need anymore: form, totality, and representation (or mapping). Hence, Lukács's work can provoke us to rethink the modern antifoundationalist story of progress.
