3The Challenge of the Incompleteness of the Third Volume of Capital for Theoretical and Political Work TodayIn Judith Dellheim & Frieder Otto Wolf (eds.), The Unfinished System of Karl Marx: Critically Reading Capital as a Challenge for Our Times, Springer Verlag. pp. 1-30. 2018.This chapter aims to make reading the third volume of Capital a challenge and a productive resource for contemporary debates. To do so, it combines a careful consideration of the sources made available by the Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe edition with an insistent interrogation of Marx’s reasons for not finishing Capital in the ‘aesthetic form’ he originally planned. From here, it goes on to look at the reception of Capital and its third and concluding volume, in particular, in Marxist politics. The…Read more

4Taking Up the Challenge of Living Labour A ‘Backwards-Looking Reconstruction’ of Recent Italian Debates on Marx’s Theory of the Capitalist Mode of ProductionIn Judith Dellheim & Frieder Otto Wolf (eds.), The Unfinished System of Karl Marx: Critically Reading Capital as a Challenge for Our Times, Springer Verlag. pp. 31-89. 2018.This conviction of mine [i.e. that a reading of the history of Italian Marxisms should be given which is different from that underlying Cristina Corradi’s book ] is based, indeed, on the very distinction between Marxists and Marxians, which I consider to be decisive. This distinction is not chronological, as if in the 1970s everybody was a Marxist, while after that, out of the blue, the Marxians arrived and were welcomed. The truth is that such an authentically Marxian thread has, in fact, exist…Read more

1Democracy and Brazil: Collapse and Regression (edited book)Eleven experts on Brazil discuss the de-democratization process underway in contemporary Brazil. The relative political stability that characterized domestic politics in the 2000s ended with the sudden emergence of a series of massive protests in 2013, followed by the controversial impeachment of Dilma Rousseff in 2016 and the election of Jair Bolsanaro in 2018. Brazil's current political crisis cannot be understood without reference to the continual growth of a new right-wing discourse, on the …Read more

474Humanism and Public Policy in Germany: The Point Is to Change the World Interview with Frieder Otto WolfEssays in the Philosophy of Humanism 24 (2): 177-186. 2016.Prof. Dr. Frieder Otto Wolf, President of the Humanistischer Verband Deutschlands, provides an overview of the main currents of modern humanism in Germany. He describes the central stream of German humanism as practical, in that it combines the principled imperative to overcome all structures and situations in which people are not treated as human beings with seeking to widen the horizons of humane existence in the arts and sciences and in capabilities of leading a fulfilling life. This humanism…Read more

3Another Productive and Challenging ‘Incompleteness’ of Capital, Volume IIIIn Judith Dellheim & Frieder Otto Wolf (eds.), The Unfinished System of Karl Marx: Critically Reading Capital as a Challenge for Our Times, Springer Verlag. pp. 129-150. 2018.Wolf investigates the consequences of the missing elaboration of the reproduction of labour power for the enlarged reproduction of capital. The issue of the forms of reproduction of labour power, which Marx skipped in his drafts for Volume II, raises issues of both gender and ecology for an adequate analysis of the comprehensive reproduction process of capital in Volume III. This leads him to identify a deeper absence of ‘living labour’ in Marx’s dialectical presentation of the forms of reproduc…Read more
