ABSTRACT

The present book fits into a tradition of anti-positivistic, phenomenological readings of Marx. This concluding chapter examines works that I consider to be within that tradition by such interpreters of Marx as Habermas, Althusser, O’Neill, Lukács and Merleau-Ponty. For each of these theorists, I choose certain representative aspects, showing what those readings share with and where they differ from my own.
