This text introduces a symposium on the thought and legacy of the French Marxist, Daniel Bensaïd. The authors consider Bensaïd’s theoretical contributions to Marxism, especially the concepts of temporality, political strategy, and revolutionary organisation, as well as his ability to fuse militant activism and intellectual work. This is followed by brief summaries of the articles gathered in the symposium, and a reflection on Bensaïd’s relevance for future Marxist research.

Tomba 2013 and Tombazos 2014. Tombazos published his dissertation in French in 1994, a year before Marx l’intempestif, with a preface by Daniel Bensaïd. The indebtedness of Bensaïd’s insights on temporality to his exchanges with Tombazos (at that time his student at the University of Paris 8) and to his work on Marx’s Capital and Hegel’s Science of Logic is explicitly acknowledged by Bensaïd in Marx for Our Times and other works.
