A field-defining masterwork, this posthumous publication maps the evolution of the idea of the state from ancient Greece to today
István Mészáros was one of the greatest political theorists of the twentieth century. Left unfinished at the time of his death,
Beyond Leviathan
is written on the magisterial scale of his previous book,
Beyond Capital,
and meant to complement that work. It focuses on the transcendence of the state, along with the transcendence of capital and alienated labor, while traversing the history of political theory from Plato to the present. Aristotle, More, Machiavelli, and Vico are only a few of the thinkers discussed in depth. The larger objective of this work is no less than to develop a full-edged critique of the state, in the Marxian tradition, and set against the critique of capital. Not only does it provide, for the first time, an all-embracing Marxian theory of the state, it gives new political meaning to the notion of “the withering away of the state.” In his definitive, seminal work, Mészáros seeks to illuminate the political preconditions for a society of substantive equality and substantive democracy.
