According to an established interpretation, the transition from Hegelâs materialism to Marxâs materialism signifies a progressive development from an abstract-idealist theory of becoming, to a theory of the concrete actions of human beings within history. A Failed Parricide by Roberto Finelli offers an innovative reading of the Marx-Hegel relationship, arguing that the young Marx remained structurally subaltern to Hegelâs distinctive conception of the subject that becomes itself in relation to alterity. Marxâs early critique of Hegel is represented as a âfailed parricideâ, relying upon an organicist and spiritualist anthropology derived from Feuerbachâs presumed materialism. Only in Marxâs mature critique of political economy will he be able to return to this âprimal sceneâ and produce a distinctive theory of the role of formal determinations in social and political modernity.
