Beschreibung

TP + [5]-[6] = Inhalt + [7] = Dedication page + half title + 11-[190], Octavo. First Edition.First published in New York, this was Bloch's final published work before his return to East Germany in 1948. This original 1946 edition was followed by a German edition published in Berlin in 1947. In this work, Bloch analyzes the difficult relationship between freedom and organization in the real world. He explores the strife encountered when an individual tries to mediate between those two and imagines various utopian scenes from the perspective of that eternal conflict. According to Bloch, the realization of a classless society implies the necessity of both freedom and order. Freedom for Bloch is the will of the collectivity towards a classless society. When freedom realizes this goal, it becomes the kingdom of freedom, but this social freedom maintains a dialectical relationship with order which necessarily arises out of the classless society itself. Freedom ends in order, and order is "democratic centralism, it is the common organization of the process of production, the common and uniform planning of human information and cultivation." original publisher's printed covers with original dust, lightly worn and chipped.
