 | Daniel Bensaïd: From the Actuality of the Revolution to the Melancholic Wager Subjects: Cabala and Christianity; Christian Hebraists; Christianity and other religions; Civilization Modern; Jewish philosophy; Judaism; Renaissance; Daniel Bensaïd: From the Actuality of Revolution to the Melancholic Wager is the first systematic full-length study of Bensaïd's renovation of Marxism. Bensaïd, a student leader during the May '68 revolt and founder of the Ligue communiste révolutionnaire, was an exemplar of a creative and open liberatory Marxism, leaving a vast oeuvre for a new generation of Marxists to explore. Much of Bensaïd's writing remains untranslated into English, and Roso's volume offers a comprehensive critical overview. |
