ABSTRACT

In this paper I take a closer look at Agnes Heller’s late public lectures and her theoretical methods, scope and their contemporaneity. My relationship to Agnes Heller was a thirty-five year long friendship. She was one of my early mentors. Into her nineties, Agnes was characterized by great vitality, all-consuming interests, from all domains of higher culture to the everyday and current politics. I also meet her periodically during that time in Sydney, Budapest and New York and have some early striking memories of Agnes as a striking personality. Finally, the paper will consider her contemporaneity as a thinker and public figure but also her many great strengths and her only too human weaknesses.

摘要

在本文中，我仔细研究了艾格尼丝·海勒（Agnes Heller）后期的公开演讲以及她的理论方法，范围及其同时期。我与艾格尼丝·海勒（Agnes Heller）的恋情是长达35年的友谊。她是我的早期导师之一。艾格尼丝（Agnes）进入90年代以来，其特征是勃勃生机，无所不包的兴趣，从高等教育的各个领域到日常和当前的政治。在那段时间里，我还定期在悉尼，布达佩斯和纽约与她会面，并对艾格尼丝具有惊人的个性。最后，本文将考虑她的同时代思想家和公众人物，以及她的许多强项和她太人性化的弱点。
