Timeline

1913

Lucien Goldmann (20 July 1913 – 8 October 1970) was a French philosopher and sociologist of Jewish-Romanian origin.

A professor at the EHESS in Paris, he was a Marxist theorist.

His wife was sociologist Annie Goldmann.

Goldmann was born in Bucharest, Romania, but grew up in Botoşani.

He studied law at the University of Bucharest and the University of Vienna under the Austromarxist jurist Max Adler.

1934

In 1934, he went to the University of Paris to study political economy, literature, and philosophy.

1942

He moved to Switzerland in November 1942, where he was placed in a refugee camp until 1943.

1945

Through Jean Piaget's intervention, he was subsequently given a scholarship to the University of Zurich, where he completed his PhD in philosophy in 1945 with a thesis entitled Mensch, Gemeinschaft und Welt in der Philosophie Immanuel Kants (Man, Community and World in the Philosophy of Immanuel Kant).

1950

While many Parisian leftists staunchly upheld Marxism's "scientificity" in the 1950s and 1960s, Lucien Goldmann insisted that Marxism was by then in severe crisis and had to reinvent itself radically if it were to survive.

He rejected the traditional Marxist view of the proletariat and contested the structural Marxist movement.

In fact, the popularity of such trends on the Left Bank was one reason why Goldmann's own name and work were eclipsed — this despite the acclaim of thinkers as diverse as Jean Piaget and Alasdair MacIntyre, who called him "the finest and most intelligent Marxist of the age."

He refused to portray his aspirations for humanity's future as an inexorable unfolding of history's laws, but saw them rather as a wager akin to Blaise Pascal's in the existence of God.

"Risk", Goldmann wrote in his classic study of Pascal's Pensées and Jean Racine's Phèdre, "is possibility of failure, hope of success, and the synthesis of the three in a faith which is a wager are the essential constituent elements of the human condition".

He called his work "dialectical" and "humanist".

He sought to synthesize the genetic epistemology of Piaget with the Marxism of György Lukács.

1960

Goldmann founded the theory of genetic structuralism in the 1960s.

He was a humanist socialist, a disciple of Lukács, and was best known for his sociology of literature.

In later life he became an important critic of structuralism.

1968

In 1968, Goldmann was a visiting professor at Columbia University.

1982

Womack, Peter (1982), Benjamin, Eagleton and Goldmann, which includes a review of Essays on Method in the Sociology of Literature, in Murray, Glen (ed.).
