Michael Heinrich

Michael Heinrich is a German historian of philosophy and political scientist who specializes in the critical study of the development of Karl Marx's thought. His work, influenced by Elmar Altvater and by the Neue Marx Lekture of Hans Georg Backhaus and Helmut Reichelt, focuses on points of ambivalence and inconsistency in Marx's work. Through this focus, Heinrich challenges both the closed system he identifies as worldview Marxism and teleological narratives of Marx's intellectual development over his life.
