This first collection of Colletti's principal essays will be welcomed by non-Italian readers who know the work of this most important living Italian Marxist philosopher only through fragments and citations. Colletti's concern as a Marxist is twofold: to interpret Marxism, in the modern setting, as profoundly and as flexibly as possible; and to investigate the relationships between Marx's thought and that of a number of other thinkers as widely separated in time as Rousseau and Marcuse. Translated by John Merrington and Judith White.
