Abstract

Philosopher Gerald A. Cohen died on the 5th of August 2009. His contribution first got articulated around Marx's thought. It suddenly appeared on the intellectual theatre in 1978 with the publication of Karl Marx's Theory of History: A Defence, which allowed the constitution of Analytical Marxism. Later, he gradually departed from Marx's theory. He discussed the libertarian concept of self-ownership and the possibility to associate it to a Marxist approach, before entering the normative debate around Rawls's Theory of justice. Based on the Kantian philosophy, his critique to Rawls was that the latter's theory allowed too little autonomy to individual choices. This paper discusses the consistency of Jerry Cohen's intellectual journey through his relation with Marx's work.
