According to Michel Henry, no thinker has been more influential than Marx, and no one has been more misunderstood. With characteristic clarity, Henry pulls out the philosophical heart of Marx's work and the reasons this complex philosophy has so often been simplified, distorted and obscured. Marx: an Introduction is not just a recovery of the theoretical centre of Marx's thinking, but also an introduction to the work of Marx in general, concise and punchy without glossing over the difficult material, it provides a fresh reading of Marx's corpus.
