The older debates about Marx's Hegelianism were generally conducted under the sign of idealism and its denunciation; today probably it is vitalism that is the more significant issue. But in the newer Marxian investigations, Hegel's Logic is grasped as a theoretical anticipation of the complex and dialectical forms taken by capital itself. This is the sense in which, retroactively, Hegel is reread through Marx and not the other way round. As one of these contributors puts it, Hegel becomes an appropriate reference because it is capital itself which is 'idealistic'. At any rate, this stimulating volume offers a rich sampling of the newer approach and the insights it provides to Marx himself. --Prof. Fredric Jameson, Duke University -The older debates about Marx's Hegelianism were generally conducted under the sign of idealism and its denunciation; today probably it is vitalism that is the more significant issue.
