""The only guide to Marx that the student and scholar will need. Providing a lucid and accessible introduction to Marx, complete with pedagogical boxes, a chronology and guides to further reading, Etienne Balibar makes the most difficult areas of his philosophy easy to understand. One of the most influential French philosophers to have emerged from the 1960s, Balibar brings a lifetime of study and expertise to create a brilliantly concise portrait of Marx that will initiate the student and intrigue the scholar. He examines all the key areas of Marx's writings, including his early works, The Communist Manifesto, The German Ideology and Capital, explaining their wider historical and theoretical context. Making clear such concepts as class struggle, ideology, humanism, progress, determinism, commodity fetishism and the state, Balibar includes brief yet incisive biographical studies of key Marxists such as Althusser, Gramsci, Engels and Lenin. The Philosophy of Marx will become the standard guide to Marx's thought."--Publisher's description."

"Un petit ouvrage qui tente de rendre accessibles les thèmes et les problèmes proprement philosophiques traités par Marx."
"Étienne Balibar tente ici un double pari : rendre accessibles les thèmes et les problèmes proprement philosophiques qui ont été traités par Marx ou qui peuvent être posés à partir de son œuvre et - au terme d'un siècle et demi de controverses passionnées dont la " philosophie marxiste " a été le lieu ou l'enjeu - proposer les éléments d'un bilan et d'un pronostic. Le marxisme, aujourd'hui en pleine refonte, n'est-il pas en train de devenir une composante d'une pensée critique plus large ? Libérée de toute prétention à constituer par elle-même une " conception du monde ", échappant par là-même aux oscillations qui ont marqué son passé récent entre le statut d'une quasi-religion et celui d'une pseudo-science, la pensée philosophique issue de Marx reformule ses questions premières : celle des fonctions sociales et des enjeux politiques de la théorie, celle de la vérité comme " appropriation pratique " du monde, celle des formes d'assujettissement liées à l'universalité elle-même, celle des " contradictions du progrès " et de la dialectique historique, celle de l'éthique révolutionnaire comme expression de l'effort de libération individuelle et collective."
