Abstract

This article aims to present and discuss some fundamental theoretical questions of Jacques Bidet’s thought, in particular, his reinterpretation of Capital and his theory of modernity. Bidet’s rethinking of economic-political modernity leads to the elaboration of a metastructural theory that produces a problematic divide between the epistemological level (transcendental Marxism) and the ontological level (empirical contractualism): a symptom of a Kantianism never explicitly discussed by the author
