Le travail est-il soluble dans le capitalisme ?. Apports et limites de l’interprétation de Marx par Moishe Postone

Richard Sobel

Revue économique, 2017, vol. 68, issue 6, 1103-1134

Abstract: Introduced in France since a decade, the work of Moishe Postone appears as a global new interpretation of Marx. It hinges on the thesis according to which Marx does not propose a criticism of capitalism from the angle of work, but a criticism of work under capitalism. This article assesses the significance of this heterodox Marxism by trying to situate its epistemological background between a structuralist interpretation and a phenomenological interpretation of Marx. It shows that Postone builds an original structuralism, combining Althusser and Hegel, but struggles to link it up with a theory of subjectivation and action up to a thought which aims for the social transformation of and the emancipation from capitalism. Classification JEL : B14, B40, B52.
