« Penser avec Marx aujourd’hui »

Pour le bicentenaire de la naissance de Karl Marx, ses partisans comme ses détracteurs ou bien ceux qui restent neutres à son égard sont d’accord pour reconnaître qu’il est sans doute un des penseurs de la politique et du social les plus influents de l’histoire. 

Marx se distingue non seulement pour avoir été un activiste politique de premier plan mais également un éminent économiste, un historien distingué de l’économie, de la technologie, de la science et de la politique ainsi qu’un philosophe original, un polémiste et un journaliste engagé.  

Dans son travail intellectuel, le projet de Marx était extrêmement ambitieux et presque sans précédent dans l’histoire des idées : établir une philosophie de l’histoire, basée sur une fondation scientifique solide qui permette le diagnostic des errements du capitalisme, diagnostic duquel on puisse tirer des recommandations pragmatiques pour des politiques révolutionnaires.

Personne ne devrait ignorer l’importance de sa pensée, il est impératif de reconsidérer la figure de Karl Marx par le prisme de l’actualité de sa pertinence, afin de comprendre les défis du monde global, dix ans après la crise de 2008. 

Pour les deux cent ans de sa naissance, la Fondation pour les Etudes Marxistes (FIM), la Fondation pour une Europe des Citoyens (FEC) et le réseau transform !, avec la collaboration de l’Université Complutense de Madrid (UCM) organiseront une conférence internationale dédiée à l’étude  du travail de Marx et son influence sur la science et les politiques contemporaines.

Organisateurs: Foundation for Marxist Studies (FIM), Foundation for a Europe of the Citizens (FEC), and transform! europe

Collaborateurs: Complutense University of Madrid (UCM)

Avec le soutien de: Euro-Mediterranean University Institute (EMUI) of the UCM and Rosa Luxemburg Foundation
