Answer

Western Marxism is an interpretive tradition in Marxist philosophy that emerged in the early 20th century. Its leading figures include Georg Lukács, Antonio Gramsci, and Herbert Marcuse. Western Marxists are united by their rejection of orthodox Marxism, which they see as deterministic and mechanistic. Instead, they emphasize the role of human agency in history and the importance of culture and ideology in shaping social relations.
