      abstract = {This book deals with a central aspect of Marxs critique of  society that is usually not examined further since it is  taken as a matter of course: its scientific claim of being  true. But what concept of truth underlies his way of  reasoning which attempts to comprehend the social and  political circumstances in terms of the possibility of  their practical upheaval? In three studies focusing  specifically on the development of Marxs scientific  critique of capitalist society, his journalistic  commentaries on European politics, and his reflections on  the organisation of revolutionary subjectivity, the authors  carve out the immanent relation between the scientifically  substantiated claim to truth and the revolutionary  perspective in Marxs writings. They argue that Marx does  not grasp the world as it is but conceives it as an  inverted state which cannot remain what it is but generates  the means by which it can eventually be overcome. This is  not something to be taken lightly: Such a concept has  theoretical, political and even violent consequences  consequences that nevertheless derive neither from a  subjective error nor a contamination of an otherwise pure  science. By analyzing Marxs concept of truth the authors  also attempt to shed light on a pivotal problematique of  any modern critique of society that raises a reasoned claim  of being true.
