On the return of Marx in philosophy and politics. Some elements for a bibliographical inventory A significant renewal in Marxian studies is currently evident in France. A first manifestation is to be found in the translation of the classical texts of Marx within the framework of the GEME, as with the 1859 A Contribution to The Critique of Political Economy, or the edition of texts which have been taken up a new, in the light of philological discoveries, as in the case of The German Ideology. At stake is the reemergence of the much-debated question of the philosophy of Marx, or of philosophy according to Marx, or after Marx. The previous great debate in France on the question, dating back to the 1960s and 70s, has thus been revived, through the simultaneous publication of two unpublished texts by Louis Althusser, which had been intended as an introduction to Marxist philosophy, and the publication by Lucien Sève, who was Althusser’s antagonist, of his truly monumental and doctrinal treatise entitled Et la philosophie? To these studies by classical Marx scholars can be added the contributions of a new generation of researchers, among whom we may mention Emmanuel Renault and Franck Fischbach. At some distance from the constricting grids of historical and dialectical materialism, their work presents us with an inventory of the various options available, thus defining the terms of a new departure, whether by way of a reading of the plurality of interpretations in a pragmatist orientation (Renault), or through the reformulation of Marx’s problematic and categories in terms of a new social philosophy (Fischbach). Evidence of the renewal is also to be found in the revived interest in the politics of Marx (I.Garo, J.N. Ducange).
