Description

These twelve original essays are ‘after’ Marx in several senses. The first and most obvious is the purely chronological sense: They’re written one hundred years after Marx’s death. The authors are subsequently in a position to see more clearly what Marx did not or could not see and to see more clearly that which he foresaw only dimly. The second one sense in which They’re after Marx is political: On this century virtually all revolutionaries call themselves Marxists and purport to apply Marx’s precepts to political practice. Armed with their different interpretations of a nineteenth-century theory, they have got altered – and continue to reshape – the political contours of the twentieth century. Marx raised more questions than he, or any person else, could ever relatively hope to reply to. To raise anew a few of these questions and to approach them in the critical spirit of Marx’s own thinking, are the common themes running through and uniting these essays.
