Review of Radical Political Economics, 1999, vol. 31, issue 2, 27-45

Abstract: Postmodernity raises for Marxism the question of what happens to the alienated subject's consciousness and purposeful action in the aftermath of its alienation. Arguing that some of Marx's own ideas can shed light on this question, I make a conceptual distinction between form of consciousness and mode of consciousness to capture what I take to be the kernel of his thinking on the transformation of the "average" individual and her/his consciousness in his Early Writings, and especially in the Grundrisse.
