ABSTRACT
In 19th-century thought, Marxism is like a fish in water; outside of it, it stops breathing. Marxism professes to change the world, but it does not have the wherewithal to do so; in short, Marxism is perfectly integrated into 19th-century thought. When it comes to knowing what problem remains once one has gotten rid of Marx, the authors believe people have completely excluded the whole territory covered by the Hegelian theory of will from general consideration, in other words from the methodology for a knowledge of the world. One thing is certain: that Marxism has contributed and continues to contribute to the impoverishment of the political imagination. Marx is unquestionably a human being, a person who unerringly expressed certain things, in other words he is an undeniable being in terms of historical event. The case of Marxism is more complex, because it is something that emerged, within rational thought, as a science.
