Critics Review
“Intellectual and Manual Labour is the magnum opus of Sohn-Rethel, a French-born German thinker who had a significant impact on the Frankfurt School – especially Theodor Adorno, but also Walter Benjamin and Ernst Bloch.”
—Michael Eby, Tribune
“Sohn-Rethel urges us to reconsider issues that still go unnoticed in contemporary Marxist theory.”
—Christian Caiconte, Progress in Political Economy
“The republication of Intellectual and Manual Labour is a gift to Marxist scholars and finally makes Sohn-Rethel’s work available to the wider public.”
—Fabian Van Onzen, Marx & Philosophy Review of Books
