Lukacs’s dialectic is historically monist, not dualist between nature and humanity

Evidence

The basic innovation introduced by the philosophy of praxis into the science of politics and of history is the demonstration that there is no abstract “human nature”, fixed and immutable (a concept which certainly derives from religious and transcendentalist thought), but that human nature is the totality of historically determined social relations, hence an historical fact which can, within certain limits, be ascertained with the methods of philology and criticism. — Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Prison Notebooks, 617 (#expands, via linked claim)
