According to Michel Henry, no thinker has been more influential than
Marx, and no one has been more misunderstood. With his characteristic clarity and elegance, Henry seeks to pull out the philosophical heart of
Marx's work and the reasons this complex philosophy has so often been simplified, distorted and obscured.
Marx: An Introduction is not just a recovery of the theoretical centre of
Marx's thinking, but also a brilliant introduction to the work of
Marx in general; concise and punchy without glossing over the difficult material, it provides a totally fresh reading of
Marx's corpus. Michel Henry shares with
Marx a concern for the living work and the living individual and this shared preoccupation is brilliantly conveyed throughout the book. An essential read for those wrestling with
Marx for the first time, and those looking for a new way to approach well-trodden territory.
