Marx and Singularity: From the Early Writings to the Grundrisse

Historical Materialism #41

by Luca Basso

The productivity of the notion of singularity is argued to be based on the fact that it allows us to highlight the element of individual realisation, simultaneously stressing its distance from the modern conception of individuality. The “correlate” of singularity is the reciprocity, moving and unstable, between the “individual” and the “collective,” which occurs in class struggles.

[Roberto Yoed · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you think 'communism = the oppression of the individual', then read this book.

If you already know that the communist project is the true and only path for the universal emancipation of all the individuals, then skip this.
