Summary
Studies on Marx and Hegel contains assessments of Capital, and of Marx's critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right (1820).
Reception
Philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, writing in Search for a Method (1957), described Studies on Marx and Hegel as an at least partially successful attempt to reinterpret Hegel as an existentialist. Sartre cited Hyppolite's book in his Critique of Dialectical Reason (1960). Political scientist David McLellan reviewed Studies on Marx and Hegel in Sociology. Historian Peter Gay described Hyppolite's book as one of the best discussions of alienation in the literature on Marx and Hegel.
McLellan called Studies on Marx and Hegel profound in the 1995 edition of his Karl Marx: His Life and Thought.
