Description
Many hold that 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 humans within history. A Failed Parricide offers an innovative reading of this transition, arguing that Marx remained structurally subaltern to Hegel’s conception of the subject that becomes itself in relation to alterity.
Author Bios Roberto Finelli is Professor of the History of Philosophy at Roma Tre. He has published numerous studies dedicated to Hegel, Marx, Freud and modern and contemporary philosophy. He is the editor of the online journal Consecutio temporum. Hegeliana. Marxiana. Freudiana (www.consecutio.org).
