In The Longing for Total Revolution Bernard Yack argues that Marx’s \nthought is plagued by a recurring contradiction. On the one hand, Marx criticizes his \nidealist predecessors for failing to get beyond the dichotomy between human \nfreedom and natural necessity, and he identifies labour, activity determined by the \nnecessity of having to satisfy material needs, as the primary activity of human \nfreedom. On the other hand, Marx’s account of what makes us distinctively human \nas well as his view that capitalism dehumanizes workers implicitly relies on the \nsame dichotomy. In response, this paper argues that while Yack identifies a tension \nin Marx’s writings, he overlooks the resources Marx has to resolve it
