Summary: An essential recovery of Marx's foundations
Comment: A challenging and brilliant book, based on an extraordinary amount of research in the left-wing thought of the early 1840s. Kouvelakis emphasises the crucial importance of Heine (yes, the poet) in the "Germanization" of revolutionary thought. More surprisingly, he shows us an Engels who was in many ways the opposite of Marx, pursuing an empirical "social-ism" at odds with the profoundly self-critical approach that led to Marx's discovery/creation of the proletariat. While there is a lot that's difficult or just plain obscure here on first reading, and a few too many references to Foucault, the flaws don't get in the way of Kouvelakis's rediscovery of Marx's original vision of a permanently self-transforming historical process, one as different from the statist organization of production usually associated with Marx as it is from the "humanist" Marx usually drawn from the 1844 manuscripts. Here is Marx the Hegelianizer of Hegel, pushing the limits of thinking-about until it issues in self-transforming action instead--a Marx who once again can challenge us. We are all in Kouvelakis's debt.
