Reviews

In this long-awaited major work, Warren Breckman offers a scintillating interpretation of post-Marxism in France and beyond. Historians of modern thought will benefit from Breckman's novel integration of numerous recent philosophers into a convincing framework stretching from German Idealism to the present, while political theorists will reckon with this rich survey of the left in recent decades as they deliberate about its future. -- Samuel Moyn, author of The Last Utopia: Human Rights in History
