This interview reveals a double movement: on the one hand of intellectual sympathy regarding the lessons to be learned from a study of spectres in Marx's works; on the other, of critical distance concerning the limits of the presence there of the spectral, in its literal meaning. Does this metaphor have the same meaning in The 18th Brumaire as it does in The German Ideology or in Capital? What is undeniable, though, is the important political impact of this book, which gives a radical diagnosis of the state of the world, as well a denunciation of the conspiracy against Marx. One of Marx's injunctions still obtains - his injunction about the indeconstructible nature of justice.
