ABSTRACT
The Grundrisse has been an important text in Yugoslavia. Its wide circulation was certainly helped by the specificity of Yugoslavian Marxism, which was always different from the soviet style Marxism-Leninism of many so-called ‘socialist states’. A certain amount of freedom of philosophical and scientific research, however limited and repressed on occasions, contributed to shape a non-dogmatic Marxism that found its main expression in the journal Praxis and the summer school of philosophy and sociology of Korcula (1964-74). Since then, the theories of the scholars who participated in these experiences have revolved around the Marxian concepts of alienation, reification and socialist humanism that would later find many correspondences on the pages of the Grundrisse.
