Leo Kofler
Leo Kofler (also known by the pseudonyms ''Stanislaw Warynski'' or ''Jules Dévérité''; 1907–1995) was an Austrian-German Marxist sociologist. He ranks with the Marburg politicologist Wolfgang Abendroth and the Frankfurt school theoreticians Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno among the few well-known Marxist intellectuals in post-war Germany. However, almost nothing of his work was ever translated into English, and he is therefore little known in the English-speaking world. Kofler had his own, distinctive interpretation of Marxism, which connected sociology and history with aesthetics and anthropology.
==Biography==
Kofler was born of Jewish parents on 26 April 1907 in Chotymyr, East Galicia, Austria-Hungary (now Tlumach Raion Ukraine). War in 1915/16 drove his family to escape to Vienna, where Leo attended business school, until 1927. His working career was cut short by the 1929 stock crash, and he became an adviser of a social-democratic education center in Vienna, joining the left-wing of the social-democratic labour party (SDAP). From 1933-34, he devoted himself to research with Max Adler. In July 1938, after the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany, he escaped to Basel, Switzerland where he was interned in an immigrant camp. Most of his family died in the Holocaust, and his parents were shot in 1942. Nevertheless he continued his theoretical studies, being influenced especially by the writings of Georg Lukács. In 1944 he published his first book under the pseudonym "Stanislaw Warynski".
His second book, on the history of the civil society, was published in 1948 in East Germany. In September 1947 he moved to the Soviet-occupied zone of Germany, and in 1948 became lecturer in medieval and modern history at the University of Halle. But after his public criticism of the Stalinization of the Socialist Unity Party, he was dismissed from his post. At the end of 1950, he escaped with his future wife Ursula Wieck to Cologne in West Germany, and worked there as well as in Dortmund and Bochum as lecturer and researcher, publishing a stream of books and articles.
He died on 29 July 1995 in Cologne after a lengthy illness.
