What kind of influence did Karl Marx have in France, given the belated translation of his works? The chapters of this book were presented at the symposium "Karl Marx at the Collège de France", directed by Pierre-Michel Menger and Antoine Compagnon, which was held at the Collège de France on 8 and 9 June 2023, the sixth in a series of symposiums devoted to the "initiators of discourses" as Michel Foucault put it, and organized in the context of the research programme "Passage des disciplines" (Fields of Knowledge in Motion), directed by Antoine Compagnon since 2012, in collaboration with Céline Surprenant. In order to contribute to the history of the reception of Karl Marx, the authors examine how the latter's writings and political stances were positively or negatively discussed, taught, endorsed or rejected by some of the professors at the Collège de France, whose teaching, research or political commitment are associated with the discussion his works, the history of Marxism and its political significance in the history of twentieth-century Western societies. The following disciplines and professors are the object of separate chapters: economy, and political economy, with Michel Chevalier, Paul Leroy-Beaulieu, Charles Gide et François Perroux; philosophy, represented by Jean Hyppolite, Maurice Merleau-Ponty et Michel Foucault; sociology in relation to philosophy, as it was taught by Raymond Aron; history, seen through the prism of Georges Renard and Maurice Agulhon's works; history and anthropology, of Jean-Pierre Vernant; psychology as Henri Wallon practised it; anthropology, as it was taught by Françoise Héritier; linguistics as Antoine Meillet and Émile Benveniste developed it; physics in Paul Langevin's research and political commitment, German studies, in Charles Andler's works, and, finally, literature, with reference to the particular case of Pierre Abraham, who did not succeed in being elected at the Collège de France.
