Abstract
Description
En la segunda mitad de los años 40, Merleau-Ponty realizó una cerrada defensa del marxismo y, como consecuencia, de la Unión Soviética. Para ello, en su obra Humanismo y terror se aplica a una crítica de la novela de A. Koestler El cero y el infinito. La tesis fundamental defendida por Merleau-Ponty es el carácter humanista del marxismo.
During the second half of the fortys’ decade, Merleau-Ponty made a strong defense in terms of marxism and, as a consequence, about the Soviet Union. To archieve it, he includes in Humanism and Terror a critique of A. Koestler’s novel Darkness at Noon. The essential thesis defended by Merleau-Ponty is the humanist nature of Marxism.
