«Adieux au prolétariat» is the essay by André Gorz, published by Éditions Galilée in paperback (246 pages, in French).
Gorz bids farewell to the proletariat as the central revolutionary subject: he analyzes the transformations of work in contemporary capitalism, criticizes the foundations of traditional socialism and classical Marxism, and proposes overcoming the centrality of wage labor to rethink social emancipation beyond class struggle.
The subtitle is «Au-delà du socialisme». The work is number 112 in the Points Politique collection; the edition is from 1981.
For readers of political philosophy and social essays interested in the critique of capitalism and twentieth-century left-wing thought.
Gérard Horst, more commonly known by his pen names André Gorz and Michel Bosquet, was an Austrian-French social philosopher and journalist and critic of work. He co-founded Le Nouvel Observateur weekly in 1964. A supporter of Jean-Paul Sartre's existentialist version of Marxism after the World War II, he became in the aftermath of the May 68 student riots more concerned with political ecology.
