Philosophy and Revolution by Stathis Kouvelakis
In this ambitious and original study, Stathis Kouvelakis paints a rich panorama of the key intellectual and political figures in the effervescence of German thought before the 1848 revolutions.
Perhaps the first truly original new version of [Marx's] formation since Auguste Cornu's monumental postwar history.. but also a new theory of what is structurally most central and distinctive in Marx's achievement, namely the unique political nature and powers of the proletariat. -- Fredric Jameson, from the Preface
Stathis Kouvelakis is a reader in political theory at King's College London. He is author and editor of many books, including the La France en révolte. Luttes sociales et cycles politiques (Textuel, Paris, 2007), Critical Companion to Contemporary Marxism (Haymarket, New York, 2009) and Lenin Reloaded: Toward a Politics of Truth (co-edited with Sebastian Budgen and Slavoj Zizek, Duke University Press, Durham, 2007), a book translated in German, Italian, Spanish and Turkish.
For years Kouvelakis was prominent member of the Syriza, Greece's far left political party. He even had a leadship role during their rapid ascent from a protest movement to the governing party of the beleaguered country, but resigned with thousands of other party members following the Prime Minister's capitulation to Troika in the summer of 2015.
