What is the relation of Marxism to philosophy? Is Historical Materialism the supersession of philosophy as idealist speculation? Is there still some space left for it? Is philosophy a particular form of what we call ideology? Is philosophy destined to disappear? By returning to Marx and Engels's theoretical and political trajectory and in particular their insistence on a radical way out of philosophy, Georges Labica shows how any Marxist engagement with philosophy cannot be the production of just another philosophy, but must rather be an intervention against philosophy as ideology--an intervention within philosophy and its contradictions, which are the result of class struggle.

This new edition of a major work on Marxism and philosophy is published here with a new introduction by Stathis Kouvelakis and Panagiotis Sotiris.

Georges Labica (1930-2009) taught philosophy at the University of Algiers after liberation and at the Nanterre (Paris X) from 1968 onwards. Actively involved in the Algerian anti-colonial struggle in the ranks of the FLN and in struggles in France, he was a member of the PCF from 1954 to 1982 and co-founded the journal Dialectiques in 1973. He wrote important studies on Arab-Muslim thought, Marx and Marxism, Robespierre, violence, and co-edited with Gérard Bensussan the Dictionnaire critique du Marxisme.
