Download e-book for iPad: Sur la Question juive (FABRIQUE (LA)) (French Edition) by Karl Marx,Jean-François Poirier

By Karl Marx,Jean-François Poirier

ISBN-10: 291337252X

ISBN-13: 9782913372528

Quand Marx écrit Sur l. a. query juive en 1843, il a vingt-cinq ans. En répondant à La query juive de Bruno Bauer, chef de dossier des «Jeunes hégéliens», il intervient dans le débat qui bat alors son plein sur les droits civiques des juifs dans «l'État chrétien». Mais cette controverse n'est pour lui que l'occasion d'élargir le débat à los angeles query des rapports entre l'émancipation limitée aux droits politiques et «l'émancipation humaine», entre l'aliénation religieuse et l'aliénation sociale. l. a. query juive n'est donc ici que le révélateur d'une grande query de l. a. modernité marchande, celle du « dédoublement » entre los angeles société civile et l'État, entre l'homme et le citoyen, entre le privé et le public.

L'article de Marx a suscité bien des polémiques. Il fut los angeles pièce à conviction d'un procès absurde et anachronique pour «antisémitisme», instruit notamment par Robert Misrahi. D'autres ont cru voir dans l. a. critique, non celle des droits de l'homme, mais de leurs limites à une époque donnée, «un manuel de l'apprenti dictateur». Plus sérieusement, des auteurs se réclamant de l'héritage théorique de Marx lui ont reproché son incompréhension du rôle de l. a. query nationale comme médiation entre émancipation politique et émancipation humaine. Dans une présentation de Sur los angeles query juive (publié ici dans une nouvelle traduction) et dans un retour critique sur los angeles controverse, Daniel Bensaïd, spécialiste de l'œuvre de Marx, répondent à ces interpellations.
Il actualise l. a. polémique contre les «nouveaux théologiens» (Jean-Claude Milner, Benny Lévy, Alain Finkielkraut). Alors que pour Marx, le peuple juif s'est maintenu «dans et par l'histoire», ces derniers renvoient l'existence juive à l'éternité biblique et à l'irréductible singularité du peuple élu. Alors que Marx veut « transformer les questions théologiques en query profane », ils rebroussent le chemin et transforment une query sociale et historique en query théologique. Signe inquiétant de temps obscurs.

Deux annexes inédites en français complètent le file de Sur los angeles query juive : un article de Bruno Bauer de 1843 et un texte de Roman Rosdolsky sur Engels et los angeles query juive en 1848.
