Man Alone/Mulgan/Marxism

Abstract

As this essay concerns itself with missed chances, an appropriate image with which to open proceedings: what could Adorno and Mulgan have talked about on their train journey from Paris to Dieppe? Mulgan was returning from a failed League of Nationsl meeting; Europe was travelling towards Serge's 'midnight of the century. A wear dispiritedness characterizes both thinkers' correspondence from the time.
