This essay claims that the rejection of Lukács's realism is quite problematic, in the sense that his opponents such as Adorno and Althusser symbolically used the name of Lukács and perpetuated the suspicion of Lukács's compromise with Stalinism.

Lukács's realism aims at providing a practical strategy to overcome cultural reification, focusing on the mediation between an author and his material condition.
