| In History and Class Consciousness, Lucacs expounds the theory of class consciousness, which is an important contribution to historical materialism. In the history of the development of Marxism, Lucacs emphasizes the dialectic of totality thought for the first time. The analysis of class consciousness not only interpretates Marxism philosophy in a unique angle, but also indicates that Lucacs tries to provide theoretical guidance to proletariat at that time.In this paper, the theory of class consciousness of Lucacs will be explored, which includes five parts: Firstly, I will analyze the concept of totality thought, illustrate its origin and principle, point out its importance to class consciousness as a method; Secondly, I will analyze the concept of class conscious and indicate that class consciousness is a cognition to whole society which transcends substantivity, then I will distinguish class consciousness from economic sense and individual consciousness; Thirdly, based on a historical analysis of class consciousness, I will point out the sub-class consciousness of pre-capitalist society, the falsity, hypocritical essence and the insurmountable of inherent contradictions of the bourgeois class consciousness from the viewpoint of totality thought, and then illustrate the historical problem of proletariat class consciousness; Fourthly, compared with the bourgeoisie, proletariat has natural advantages, because proletariat can obtain self-consciousness after overcoming reified consciousness, and then make class consciousness as a weapon of the practice of proletarian revolution; Fifthly, I will evaluate the theory itself and practical value of class consciousness combined with the background of the times, understand roundly the regression to the substance of Marxism theory, recognize the purpose of animadverting on the opportunism economical determinism, and finally provide the theoretical support to our current construction of harmonious socialist society.
