Marx and Singularity
From the Early Writings to the Grundrisse
The productivity of the notion of singularity is argued to be based on the fact that it allows us to highlight the element of individual realisation, simultaneously stressing its distance from the modern conception of individuality. The correlate” of singularity is the reciprocity, moving and unstable, between the individual” and the collective,” which occurs in class struggles.
