| Summary |
According to an established interpretation, the transition from Hegel's materialism to Marx's materialism signifies a progressive development from an abstract-idealist theory of becoming, to a theory of the concrete actions of human beings within history. A Failed Parricide by Roberto Finelli offers an innovative reading of the Marx-Hegel relationship, arguing that the young Marx remained structurally subaltern to Hegel's distinctive conception of the subject that becomes itself in relation to alterity. Marx's early critique of Hegel is represented as a 'failed parricide', relying upon an organicist and spiritualist anthropology derived from Feuerbach's presumed materialism. Only in Marx's mature critique of political economy will he be able to return to this 'primal scene' and produce a distinctive theory of the role of formal determinations in social and political modernity. First published in Italian by Bollati Borighieri Editore as Un parricidio mancato. Il rapporto tra Hegel e il giovane Marx, Turin, 2004 |
