I signed this position because no matter what you may think of Lukacs' political commitments, he remains an important literary and philosophical commentator who should not be 'airbrushed' out of history.

History is crucial in a civilised world - to have important historical figures wiped from available & physical presence is fascism.

The archived papers of an important 20th century political philosopher and public figure should rightly be conserved.

Lukacs is the among the most important European philosophers of the modern era.  His works are a testament to the power of the human intellect and the depth of the human spirit, those who are in a position to do so are obliged to preserve them.

Because I once studied philosophy and admired Lukacs. Besides, as the historian I am now, I consider it very stupid to throw away Archives.

Elke beperking van het aanbod aan archiefmateriaal is een verarming voor het onderzoek in het bijzonder en voor de cultuur van een land in het algemeen

Lukacs works represent a most refreshing perspective of classical Marxism. It is a universal heritage of thought & its linkages as consciousness to action. He does represent a universal heritage of theoretical & practical progress & should the archives of his work MUST thus be defended, for this & for coming generations.

I consider Gyorgy Lukacs to be one of the foremost philosophers of the 20th century and it would be an outrage to foreclose scholarship in the future. Luckas is a seminal figure in the history of thinking.

The Hungarian Academy of Sciences has taken its decision about closing down the Lukács Archive:

 

 

BOOKSHELF WITHOUT BOOKS – DANCE WITHOUT MUSIC

Any removal or destruction of scholarly information from access to academia is an affront to the progression of human understanding. Lukacs' dialectical analysis had been crucial to humanity's understanding and continually development of Marxian concepts and plays a continued role in the application of the leftist political platform. To destroy such a wealth of information is tantamount to book burnings under an authoritarian regime.
