Isabelle Garo (born 5 September 1963), is a French philosopher specialising in the works of Karl Marx.[1]

Biography

[edit]

Garo's research focuses on the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, put in their context and broached from both theoretical and political angles.[2] Her work has affected the critical reception of Marx, especially in France, since the 1970s.[3] At the same time, her books analyse the Marxist tradition within the scope of contemporary capitalism and its crisis.[4][5]

She is president of the Grande Edition Marx et Engels (GEME), a project working on the first complete edition of the writings of Marx and Engels in the French language.[citation needed]

In 2012, she announced her support of the Left Front and its candidate, Jean-Luc Mélenchon.[6] In November 2015, she signed the "Appeal of the 58": "We will protest during the State of emergency".[7][8] Since 2018, she has been a member of the Council of Orientation of the Foundation Copernic.[9]
