Philosophers pirouetting through a linguistic maze

Reading Marx
By Slavoj Zizek, Frank Ruda And Agon Hamza
(Polity: £14.99)

This demanding book will confront any reader unused to the abstruse terminology of modern philosophy with an intellectual assault course.

The intention of three leading Marxist philosophers is “to read and thus think with Marx as a contemporary.”
