Rezensionen

Given its brevity, this is a remarkable introduction to Marx's thought. But more importantly, It is a great introduction to Henry's philosophy of life. Rejecting the then contemporary readings of Marx (Althusser in particular), rejecting the legacy of Marxism, Henry argues that economic structures are not the foundation for human life. For Marx, the concrete, living individual grounds economic structures. Life is the foundation. Therefore, as Henry concludes, "Marx's thought confronts us with the abyss of the question: what is life?"
