Marx for Our Times by Daniel Bensaïd
Without denying the contradictory character of Marx's thought, the French philosopher Daniel Bensaid sets out to demonstrate both what it was and what it was not.
Bensaïd furnishes us with a new reading of Marx which both criticizes and surpasses the debates and problematics of the pastA Marxist reading of Marx, in the sense of the eleventh thesis on Feuerbach: interpreting the world in order to transform it ... A reading which is neither apologetic nor conservative. * Le Quinzaine littéraire *
The result of a long process of research, this book offers us an analysis of the thought of Marx and of its relevance which should be considered as a new landmark, and which opens up new perspectives and polemics which will no dolubt continue to live on for some time. * Le Monde *
