Abstract

Art has an epistemological place in Lukács's system of thought. The realist writer is the proletarian subject who goes through the process of becoming self-conscious and, by creating beautiful works and realistic reflections of the whole, helps the proletariat to develop and understand the contradictions of capitalist societies and also to understand its place as a social force.

Essentially, the value of works of art lies in the extent to which they achieve an understanding of the totality of the system as a unified continuum, and it reaches its peak when socialism has been fully realized and the artist can reflect it as an independent being. For Lukács, critical realism and the writers of this school have achieved an understanding of the totality of the system and have been able to reflect it.

In this research, by collecting information and library data and using a descriptive-analytical method, we have answered this question: If the dominant ideas are those of the bourgeois class, how can the proletariat achieve general knowledge and change and transform relations? Also, how have writers who belong to the bourgeois class achieved understanding and recognition of the generality?
