Abstract

If we look at the titles of your works, from Strategy for Labor, to The Actuality of Revolution up to Farewell to the Working Class, all pose political and sociological questions which do not immediately reveal the philosophical dimension of your thought. Do you see yourself primarily as a sociologist, revolutionary theorist, political strategist or philosopher?You are right. I perceive myself as a stranded philosopher trying to smuggle my original philosophic reflections into seemingly political or sociological matters. I understand “philosophy” as die original question which Western philosophy has posed since die Greeks. When am I truly myself, diat is, not a tool or die product of outside powers and influences, but radier die originator of my acts, dioughts, feelings, values, etc?
