Summary/Abstract: In this chapter from the book Revenances de l’histoire: Répétition, narrativité, modernité[Revenants of History: Repetition, Narrativity, Modernity] Hamel discusses contradictionsand logical or historical antinomies in Karl Marx’s work. Examining Marx’s emancipatoryand revolutionary project he takes into account the crisis of the historiosophical narrative,the emerging immanence and historical materialism, as well as the crisis of the legitimacyof modern sciences. Hamel draws on anti-humanist criticism à la Louis Althusser andJacques Derrida’s hauntology as well as concepts of anachronism and methodologicalpresentism.
