While there is a broad corpus of scholarship which analyzes the formalistic elements of Brecht?s work, much of this has been limited by formalistic approaches and has neglected his unique contributions to Marxist philosophy. This book serves to remedy this by reconstructing Brecht?s social and political philosophy into a single theoretical framework for the first time. It presents Brecht?s thought in context of a revolutionary Marxist aesthetic and explores his vision of consciousness as it relates to historical materialism, the dialectic of enlightenment, social ontology, epistemology and ethics. This is accomplished by meticulous readings of his theoretical writings and close analysis of three important plays, The Good Woman of Setzuan , Life of Galileo , and his adaption of Coriolanus . In doing so, this book reveals Brecht?s relevance today for anyone interested in politics and aesthetics. 410 0$aConsciousness, Literature and the Arts$v44. 676 $a832.912 700 $aSquiers$b Anthony$0892030 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808365803321 996 $aAn introduction to the social and political philosophy of Bertolt Brecht$93916191 997 $aUNINA
