Marxism and the Status of Philosophy

von Georges Labica

406 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What is the relation of Marxism to philosophy? Is Historical Materialism the supersession of philosophy as idealist speculation? Is there still some space left for it? Is philosophy a particular form of what we call ideology? Is philosophy destined to disappear? By returning to Marx and Engels's theoretical and political trajectory and in particular their insistence on a radical way out of philosophy, Georges Labica shows how any Marxist engagement with philosophy cannot be the production of just another philosophy, but must rather be an intervention against philosophy as ideology--an intervention within philosophy and its contradictions, which are the result of class struggle. This new edition of a major work on Marxism and philosophy is published here with a new introduction by Stathis Kouvelakis and Panagiotis Sotiris.
