Daniel Bensaïd
Daniel Bensaïd (1946-2010) was one of France’s most prominent Marxist philosophers and wrote extensively on that and other subjects. He was for many years a leading member of the LCR (French section of the Fourth International) and subsequently of the NPA. He was also a member of the central leadership of the Fourth International, particularly following developments in Latin America - notably in Brazil - in the 1970s-90s. He was professor of philosophy at the University of Paris VIII. His works include Marx for Our Times, Walter Benjamin: Sentinelle messianique, Le Pari mélancolique, and the posthumously published autobiography Une lente impatience (An Impatient Life, Verso, 2013).
