Abstract

In this paper we pay tribute to Stephen Resnick (1938-2013), a major contributor to the Marxian theoretical tradition. We present a brief introduction to the works of Stephen Resnick and trace his intellectual journey to highlight the factors that had major influence on his work, in particular the influence of Louis Althusser. We note the emphasis on epistemological considerations and class exploitation in Resnick’s Marxist works.
