Theorize And Be Damned: Revisiting Marx with Matthew McManus and Conrad Hamilton

In June Revol will publish a new collection of essays on Marx featuring Ben Burgis and Daniel Tutt. We speak to editor Conrad Hamilton and contributor Matthew McManus

In June, Revol will publish a new essay collection, Flowers For Marx, with contributions from Ben Burgis, Daniel Tutt and Ernesto Vargas. The collection will serve as a deep dive into the enduring relevance of Karl Marx’s writing, and a dialogue between thinkers and academics with distinct and opposing takes on aspects of Marx, and his interpretation by Louis Althusser, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, GFW Hegel and others.

Our guests this month are Flowers For Marx contributor Matthew McManus and editor and contributor Conrad Hamilton. They join Revol’s Bram E. Gieben to discuss the book, its themes, and its relevance for today’s divided left.

Matthew McManus is a lecturer in political science at the University of Michigan. He is the author or co-author of several books including The Political Right and Equality and Against Post-Liberal Courts and Justice. His latest book is The Political Theory of Liberal Socialism.

Conrad Hamilton is a postdoctoral research fellow at East China Normal University. He has published in Jacobin, Cosmonaut Magazine, The Morning Star, Areo, The Philosophical Salon, &&& and Merion West. He is co-author of Myth and Mayhem: A Leftist Critique of Jordan Peterson.
