----- Original Message ----- From: "Jurriaan Bendien" <adsl675281@tiscali.nl> Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2005 3:12 PM Subject: Helmut Fleischer Jerry, While I think of it - one excellent short book on the Marxian view of history, by a German thinker, which I found is: Helmut Fleischer, Marxism and History (Harper Torchbooks, 1973). It seems to be little noticed or cited, yet it is full of great insights, ably demolishing many vulgarisations, and I would recommend it to people on the list. If I had students, I would get them to read it, if that was the topic. Unfortunately, almost nothing by Leo Kofler has been translated into English, which I regard as a great gap in the English Marxian literature, because he tackled just so many important questions about culture, politics and society - as you will be able to see from looking at just the titles of his books. You really wonder why Verso Books, which is always so keen to make important Marxian texts available in English, never commissioned somebody to translate Kofler's books, even although they would publish Mandel, Althusser, Habermas and Lukacs and so on...
