Philosophy After Marx: 100 Years Of Misreadings And The Normative Turn In Political Philosophy cover

In Philosophy After Marx, Christoph Henning writes a concise history of mis-readings of Marx in the 20th century. Focusing on German philosophy from Heidegger to Habermas, he also addresses the influence of Rawls and Neopragmatism, subsequently scrutinizing a previous history of Marx - interpretations that had served as the premises upon which these later works were based. With the recent resurgence of interest in Marx, Henning's historical recursions make evident where and how academic Anti-Marxism had previously got it wrong.

“Christoph Henning’s Philosophy After Marx is a comprehensive, six-hundred page indictment of everyone from Kautsky to present-day left liberals of Habermasian or Rawlsian stripe, and it is well worth standing p to its innumerable provocations. It is a tireless catalogue of what I will call Marx-avoidance, which for all its unremitting zeal remains oddly non-partisan.”
—Fredric Jameson,New Left Review
