"Winner of the 2020 European Walter Benjamin Prize, The Revolution is the Emergency Break is a rich compilation of Walter Benjamin's lesser-known writings by renowned social scientist Michael Löwy. Translated into several languages but available in English for the very first time, Löwy brings together the philosophical, literary, theological, and cultural aspects of Benjamin's writings, including his relation to figures such as Gershom Scholem and Franz Rosenzweig, his interpretation of historical materialism, surrealism, anti-fascism and anarchism, his contribution to understanding capitalism as a religion, and his relevance for Latin America and ecology today.

"This book proposes a marxist analysis of young Marx intellectual evolution, from left neo-Hegelianism to his new philosophy of praxis. It distinguishes itself from most other books on the early Marx by its object: the theory of (proletarian) revolutionary self-emancipation, and its method to understand the movement of Marx's political and philosophical ideas in relation to the most radical currents in the labour movement of his time (beginning with Chartism and the uprising of the Silesian weavers in 1844). The central theoretical argument of the author is that Marx's philosophy of praxis - first formulated in the Thesis on Feuerbach - is at the same time the founding stone of a new world view, and the methodological basis for the theory of revolutionary self-emancipation."--Jacket
