Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume, originally published in French, offers a new interpretation of Marx's great work. By exploring the work as a step in a process of theoretical development, Jacques Bidet re-assesses Marx's system in its set of constitutive categories, seeking to pin down the difficulties they encountered and the analytical and critical value they still have today.
