Novack defends scientific socialism—the generalization of the historic line of march of the working class. In articles from “In Defense of Engels” to “Is Nature Dialectical?” Novack answers those who throughout the twentieth century sought to provide a “philosophical” veneer for the anti-working-class course of Stalinist and social democratic misleaderships around the world.

There is an increasing division between Existentialism and Marxism, despite Jean-Paul Sartre's attempts to bridge these two influential philosophies of the twentieth century. The chief difference lies in the rational and irrational conceptions of the nature of the universe and of society. The expression of this condition has become more vehement and widespread, as is indicated in EXISTENTIALISM VERSUS MARXISM.

Novack, George was born on August 5, 1905 in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Son of Israel and Ada (Marcus) Novack.
He attended Harvard University, earning a Bachelor of Arts in 1926, and an Master of Arts
In 1927. He was on a successful track in the publishing business, when the beginning of the Great Depression radicalized him. In 1937-1940 Novack served as the secretary of the American Committee for the Defence of Leon Trotsky. This body initiated the celebrated 1937 Dewey Commission that inquired into the charges made against Trotsky in the Moscow show trials, and found the Moscow trials to have been a complete frame-up.
George Novack was not one of the 18 SWP leaders imprisoned in World World War II under the Smith Acting, but he played a major role in the defense campaign.
