(Pani Communistc f rant;a.is)-tbat tbe intellec·
tual reign of Marxism i n France became vulnerable to profoundly ideological and political at·
tacks. Marxism lost its terrain to structuralism.
and to what is cal led posrstructuralism in the
A\lglo-Saxon world. It seemed that capitalist
society was no longer the same lhat Marx bad
once described. and tJle alternative of a revolutionary transfonn:uion ofsuch society was neiUler tlleOf'der' of Ole day nor even desirable anymore. Strocturnlist movements at this time not
only called huo question every :lSpect of mod·

The question for the 11ew philosophers w!l.s
not tbe critics of Marxism as philosophy and
ideology lind its rr.ctification in the light of the
new social realitie-s. T heir ajm was rather the
veritnble liquidation of Marxism. Since 1970,
Benoist had announced Ole · end" of Marxism
in bis book Mtro. est mort. After decades in
which the vast m~o
ri ty offrcncb intellectuals
had almost unauinlou.o;ly adhered to Marxism.
the attitude()( U1e new philnmpht>rs se-emed
now to mark ao imporc:.mt de.parture (Hir·
schhom, 1978: 305). While Ibe Paris events o f
May '68 hnd led to the "stt•g nation" of French
Marx i.s m. the ad vl!nt firsc of the • phi Iosop hks
of desire· (1970.5), ::tnd now o f the Nouvelle
Philosophie ( 1976-8) marked the "dis3ppear-
ance" nf Marxism. at least temporarily. from
the field of discussion in Fratcc (Dcscombes..
1993: 129).
Be lhmasit may. tbenew pllilosophers, how·
ever. cannot be credited for originaJity witJl
regard to their denunciation ofMarx und Marx·
ism. Anti· Marxism in French modem thought
did not arise in 1977. Three decades before the
new phitowphers voiced their.anger and repug·
nance against Marx. M:ltxistl and the Soviet
bureaucratic system. to whidl it was applied.
were Strongly denounced by Claude Lefort in
his Les Tempts modernes ( 1948), wbicb.. as is
known, was written under lhedirect innuence
ofVictor Kmvch.enko's book ! Chose Freedom.
Other imponant examples of eatlier denuncia·
tion of Marxism in French mo:Jem tboug_bt in·
elude Raymond A.ron •s L'Opiwn des intillectu·
els, and Mertcnu·Ponty'.s LesA.Yentures de ladi·
alectique.
As for the zealous ambition of the new phi·
Josophers to sen.rch for more ad::quate tools than
those provided by Matxism vith regard to a
beuer understanding of the new social world, it
proved quite unable to produte any cobcrcnl
system of concepts and propositions. There was
in the New Philosophyncitberwytbing compa·
rable to other philosophical school s ( i.e. tbc
Frankfun school. Existentialism, or Pbenome.
no1ogy), nor were the new philosophers allied
co one another through some kind of a common
doctri ne. One could argue. as Hirschhorn
(1978: 302)docs, forinsL'lnce. lbau he New Philo.mphy was Still, in 1976-77. "a school in tJle
making." Even if we agree for a moment witb
such a claim, there is no doubt tbat the New
Philosophy failed to emerge a.s a distinctjve
sehoul or thought, regatdless of l.be publicity
and some praise il received at the outset. For.
not only is there no common problemtuiquc in
