This book deals with a central aspect of Marx's critique of society
that is usually not examined further since it is taken as a matter
of course: its scientific claim of being true. But what concept of
truth underlies his way of reasoning which attempts to comprehend
the social and political circumstances in terms of the possibility
of their practical upheaval? In three studies focusing specifically
on the development of Marx's scientific critique of capitalist
society, his journalistic commentaries on European politics, and
his reflections on the organisation of revolutionary subjectivity,
the authors carve out the immanent relation between the
scientifically substantiated claim to truth and the revolutionary
perspective in Marx's writings. They argue that Marx does not grasp
the world 'as it is' but conceives it as an inverted state which
cannot remain what it is but generates the means by which it can
eventually be overcome. This is not something to be taken lightly:
Such a concept has theoretical, political and even violent
consequences-consequences that nevertheless derive neither from a
subjective error nor a contamination of an otherwise 'pure'
science. By analyzing Marx's concept of truth the authors also
attempt to shed light on a pivotal problematique of any modern
critique of society that raises a reasoned claim of being true.
