Marx est-il individualiste?
Thesis or Dissertation
Abstract(s)
Des nombreuses lectures possibles de l’œuvre de Marx, celles de Michel Henry et de Serge Cantin ont l'avantage, lorsque mises côte-à-côte, de faire ressortir les différentes tensions qui existent entre le pôle libertaire et communautaire de la pensée de Marx. D'un côté, Michel Henry met l'accent sur l'aspect individualiste de l'ontologie marxienne. Cantin quant à lui montre de quelle manière Marx tend à nier cette individualité au profit d'un processus objectif qui sous-tend cette individualité, à savoir la vie elle-même. L'objectif de ce mémoire est d'exposer ces deux conceptions aux antipodes, puis de les faire dialoguer entre elles afin de voir dans quelle mesure, malgré leur apparente opposition, une réconciliation est possible. Or, il s'avère que malgré les quelques points communs dégagés en conclusion, nous ne soyons pas parvenus outre mesure à opérer de rapprochement significatif entre ces deux lectures. Of the many possible readings of Marx's work, those of Michel Henry and Serge Cantin have the advantage, when compared side by side, to bring out certain tensions that exist between the communitarian and libertarian dimensions of Marx's thought. On the one hand, Michel Henry emphasizes the individualistic aspect of Marxian ontology. Cantin, on the other hand, shows how Marx tends to deny this individuality in favor of an objective process that underlies this individuality, namely, that of life itself. The purpose of this thesis is to present these two opposing views individually and then to have them interact with each other. The guiding question is whether, despite their apparent opposition, some form of reconciliation is possible. It turns out that, apart from a few common point that are brought to light, these two readings do not lend themselves to any significant rapprochement.
