Marx's Theory of History
The Ideology of Power and the Power of Ideology
If , as we read in the last stanza , the sun , ' when he sees that ghostly crew .. turns away in fright ' , 234 this is because ... Yet the failure is only partial : these spectres of the past bear the mark of a profound dissymmetry .
