#262016-03-11 12:34As a nation that has experienced a history of repressive governments and censorships, it's worrying that the actions of these same governments should reappear in the modern Hungarian State - especially when the author concerned was at the forefront of Hungarian independence. |

#282016-03-11 14:22George Lukacs was one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century, as recognized by Sartre, Adorno, Heidegger and many other leading thinkers. Closure of the Lukacs archive would be a major loss to scholarship and a disgrace to the Hungarian nation. |

#292016-03-11 14:23As someone who studies both archive management and philosophy, it would be indeed sad if an archive dedicated to the thought and memory of this great philosopher of Hungary would be lost and left institutionally unsustained. |

#302016-03-11 17:40Extra care should be taken to preserve the ideas of great men. This is especially true when their ideas pass from view and a new fashion lights the stage. The Lukács archive should remain. |

#332016-03-12 21:33Lukacs was and still is an important social theorist of early 20th century modernity. |

#342016-03-12 21:42During my PhD at the London School of Economics in the late 1970s I found Lukacs work on the the State and culture of Capitalism to have been indispensable along with Habermas, Goldmann and The Frankfurt School, it unlocked the hidden irrationality of this Modern ideology! His writings were very readable and penetrated the mists and fog of propagandists who believed, and continue today, to believe their own propaganda! |

#352016-03-12 23:20It would be philistine and vindictive act to close down the archives of one of the greatest thinkers and witnesses of the political and intellectual ferment of the 20th Century. |

#362016-03-12 23:28The archive is an irreplaceable resource for research on one of the most important social philosophers of the 20th century. |

#372016-03-12 23:28It would be sn act of intellectual and cultural vandalism to close down the archives of one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th Century, and a profound witness to the ebbs and flows of its political history. |

#402016-03-13 04:55The Lukacs archive is an important resource for all of those interested in European literature, philosophy, and politics and should remain open and and its material remain available to scholars and to the interested public. |

#412016-03-13 08:36I am an academic who understands the contribution that Georgy Lukacs made as a creative marxist thinker who has at the same time contributed significantly to modern social science. I hope this is not a political action by a contemporary government that is perhaps unsympathetic to the views that Lukacs espoused. That should not matter. France, even conservative governments in France honour their intellectuals many of whom are from the left. In general the contributions of French intellectuals are treated with respect. |

#422016-03-13 09:04Preserving the intellectual history of leading thinkers in any area is part of our shared human responsibility. Throughout history, the development of ideas, the notebooks, marginalia, partially-formed notions and dead-ends, is often lost to the next generation of scholars. Yet knowing what doesn't work is often as important as knowing what does. Hungary should be proud to host this archive, and it would be a terrible mistake to close it down. |

#432016-03-13 09:19Georg Lukacs was most certainly one of the most brilliant thinkers in the revolutionary Leninsit sense. What he did was awakened the "sublime feeling of enthusiasm" (to borrow Zizek's term). The move to shut down the archive is a brutal neocon move to further restrict not only radical thinking, but to restrict thinking itself. |

#462016-03-13 10:29I am of a generation of thinkers ...born in 1946...whose capacity to think critically was anchored in the challenging writings of Georgy Lukacs. I have encouraged those coming after me to look into Lukacs's work. I view the shut down of his archives as a criminal act. |

#472016-03-13 13:03I teach critical theory and the work of G.Lukacs has been invaluable for me in the study and analysis of literary history and texts. |

#482016-03-13 13:26Because it is a shame to close down an archive of such importance , the archive of this great person. Countries like Hungary should not have entered the EU. Great mistake.This goes also for Austria, of course... |

#502016-03-13 16:16Georg Lukacs is one of the most famous Hungarians of the last century. He should be honoured in his own country! |
