Marx and the Common. From "Capital" to the Late Writings

This book provides a detailed reconstruction of the late Marx's connection of the collective dimension of communism and the element of individual realisation. Through an analysis of a vast range of Marx's writings - from "Capital" to his political texts and scientific notes - the book brings out an articulated historical-theoretical landscape in which the notion of 'individual' is intertwined with the ideas of 'class', 'society' and 'community'. Rooting his analysis in the revolutionary power of the workers' 'acting in common', the book brings to the fore an anthropological dynamic in Marx, irreducible to either liberal individualism or any kind of organicist approach.
