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· ern liberal life. tbey also seemed to wipeout au hope or escaping the tentacles of "power· tJuoug.h politicaJ action. l ns.tettd. they seemed to offer "new possibilities" for resistance.

Ul Critics usually agree that the •shocking• novelty ofthenewphi/Qsophers <.:onsistedof Ole fact that they were a g roup of young intelle.ctu· als w110 were no longer prepar\!d to dialogue with. or work wi01in, the framework of Marxism but openly ru:d frru1LicaJiy denounced il as a philosophy of domination (Dews. 1980: 2). for the new piJi/(J&oplltrS Marx.ism tlad proved incapable to expl:lin the struggles and lhe suf· fcri ngs of men ::u presem days. hs theoreticaL tools could no longer work. Therefore. as Uvy (1977: Il l) fonn ulate<l h. it was · urgent tore. think the spectrum of our society, ::lcc."Clrding to new guides. new sys1ems ofpnwcr. new orders of concepts." 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 those few works- but nume10us newspaper articles and interviews- prod1ced by t.be new plliiQSOphers besides their vicious rejection of Mnrxh:.m, \'1 1.11 1he ('.On tent oftbelr works is: ah:o as poor Mit is eclectic.
