Andres Saenz de Sicilia is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Northeastern University London, UK. He is the author of From the Critique of Reason to the Critique of Society: Subsumption in Kant, Hegel and Marx (2024) as well as texts in Radical Philosophy, European Journal of Social Theory, Language Sciences, Valenciana, the SAGE Handbook of Marxism & the SAGE Handbook of Frankfurt School Critical Theory.

This book revisits Marx's early philosophy to trace and theorize the evolution of his dialectical humanism and its implications for life under capitalism’s subsumption of labor. Marx's interpretation comes out from under the weight of the obfuscating categories imposed by 20th century Marxism, including a reconsideration of his thought as a whole in relation to German idealism. Every page gives us something new to think about.
