Marxian Totality: Inverting Hegel to Explain Worldly Matters

By Kaveh Boveiri

The first book-length exploration of the Marxian concept of totality from a philosophical and sociopolitical perspective.

Drawing on a large number of classical and contemporary works (in English, French, German, Czech and Italian), Boveiri elucidates the distinctive features of Marxian totality with a particular focus on its methodology. The work has six moments. First, it develops arguments against two undialectical conceptions of totality, those held by Schelling and Wittgenstein. Then, it presents a critical reading of Hegelian totality focused on The Science of Logic. Next it examines the shortcomings of two well-known conceptions of totality, one by Georg Luk cs, another by Karel Kos k, before examining in detail the developmental characteristics of Marxian totality. The volume concludes with a chapter dealing with some methodological implications of the conception advanced here.
