It is suggested that parts of these readings can be subsumed under an interpretive spectrum called ‘helical’. The introductory chapter provides a tripartite overview of the most influential interpretations of the relation between Hegel and Marx in terms of ‘progressive’, ‘disruptive’ and ‘reverse’ readings: Progressive readings assume a significant development from Hegel to Marx where Marx ‘sublates’ Hegelian insights disruptive readings start from the idea of a break between Hegel and Marx and reverse readings argue for a return from Marx back to Hegel. It makes the case for a double movement from Marx to Hegel and back, in order to provide a basis for contemporary social critique by uniting Marx’s social and economic critique with the ethical foundations of Hegel’s philosophy. ![]() This book examines Hegel’s place in contemporary critical thinking, particularly in relation to Marx and Marxist theories. ![]() These two concepts provide the normative basis for reconsidering ideology critique in light of a non-reductive critical naturalism. I analyze two concepts that illuminate the method of ideology critique in particular: Hegel’s “Idea,” and Marx’s Gattungswesen (species-being). I argue that ideologies are social pathologies, or wrong ways of living. Understanding the relation between life and self-consciousness is crucial for ideology critique because what ideologies distort is the relation between self-consciousness and life, a relation that is fundamental to the actualization of human freedom. Turning to Hegel and Marx, I further argue that the dialectics of immanence and transcendence must be more concretely understood as the dialectics of life and self-consciousness. Specifically, I interpret ideology critique as operating through what critical theory calls the dialectics of immanence and transcendence. ![]() In this paper, I explore and defend ideology critique as a method that is descended from the project of the critique of reason. ![]()
