to Habermas, University of California Press, 1984, p. 5: "Although such
thinkers as the Polish philosopher Leszek Kolakowski (during his Marxist
Humanist phase) and the Czech philosopher Karel Kosk were certainly
important in their own right, their work was nonetheless built upon the earlier
thought of Western Marxists, as was that of the Yugoslav theoreticians
published in the journal Praxis."
