Bringing the original, yet now often forgotten, theoretical contexts for these terms back to the fore, Johan Hartle and Samir Gandesha offer a new look at the importance of Western Marxism from its early days to the present moment-and reveal why Marxist cultural critique must continue to play a vital role in any serious sociological analysis of contemporary society.

He had to speak the 'language of commodities', had to empathize with the 'soul of capital'; had to learn about its fetishism and had to resist being seduced by 'metaphysical subtleties' or 'theological niceties'. Thus he had to understand the phantom-like reality of social practice as both manifest and deluding, both materially concrete and loaded with abstract universals. Today, we cannot understand Marx without reconstructing the structure of his social ontology. Without doing so we might even be incapable of critically relating to the nature of society as such. So, what is the specific form of being of social facts? How do we have to conceive of them -and (even more importantly) how do they conceive of us?
