Dr. Avtar Singh hasauthored and published a new book entitled- “The Hidden Factor: An Approach for Resolving Paradoxes of Science, Cosmology and Universal Reality”. The book was motivated by his personal interest in pursuing a scientific search for understanding reality, purpose, and meaning in the universe. About the Program During this program Dr. Singh explains the role of consciousness in explaining the observed behavior of the universe and resolving its mysteries. The conventional science fails to reveal purpose in the universe since it ignores consciousness and deals only with the inanimate matter in its theoretical formulations. The consciousness prevailing in the spontaneous universal phenomena provides for its purpose and the meaning of life in its fundamental eternity, omnipresence, and free will. Dr. Singh discusses scientific answers to questions such as: What is the relationship between understanding the universe and understanding the human mind, consciousness, and religion? What are the philosophical perspectives of the results of this new understanding? Does the universe and life have a purpose and meaning? What causes stress and suffering? What is the role of mind? Is their free will, or is it all pre-ordained fate? How to live a stress-free and fulfilled life?

History and Class Consciousness: Studies in Marxist Dialectics

This is the first time one of the most important of Lukács’ early theoretical writings, published in Germany in 1923, has been made available in English. The book consists of a series of essays treating, among other topics, the definition of orthodox Marxism, the question of legality and illegality, Rosa Luxemburg as a Marxist, the changing function of Historic Marxism, class consciousness, and the substantiation and consciousness of the Proletariat.

Writing in 1968, on the occasion of the appearance of his collected works, Lukács evaluated the influence of this book as follows:

“For the historical effect of History and Class Consciousness and also for the actuality of the present time one problem is of decisive importance: alienation, which is here treated for the first time since Marx as the central question of a revolutionary critique of capitalism, and whose historical as well as methodological origins are deeply rooted in Hegelian dialectic. It goes without saying that the problem was omnipresent. A few years after History and Class Consciousness was published, it was moved into the focus of philosophical discussion by Heidegger in his Being and Time, a place which it maintains to this day largely as a result of the position occupied by Sartre and his followers. The philologic question raised by L. Goldmann, who considered Heidegger’s work partly as a polemic reply to my (admittedly unnamed) work, need not be discussed here. It suffices today to say that the problem was in the air, particularly if we analyze its background in detail in order to clarify its effect, the mixture of Marxist and Existentialist thought processes, which prevailed especially in France immediately after the Second World War. In this connection priorities, influences, and so on are not particularly significant. What is important is that the alienation of man was recognized and appreciated as the central problem of the time in which we live, by bourgeois as well as proletarian, by politically rightist and leftist thinkers. Thus, History and Class Consciousness exerted a profound effect in the circles of the youthful intelligentsia.”

George Lichtheim, also in 1968, writes that “…The originality of the early Lukács lay in the assertion that the totality of history could be apprehended by adopting a particular ‘class standpoint’: that of the proletariat. Class consciousness—not indeed the empirical consciousness of the actual proletariat, which was hopelessly entangled with the surface aspects of objective reality, but an ideal-typical consciousness proper to a class which radically negates the existing order of reality: that was the formula which had made it possible for the Lukács of 1923 to unify theory and practice.”
