Plenty of scholars sweated through the 20th century trying to reconcile inconsistencies across the great sweep of Marx’s writing, seeking to shape a coherent Marxism out of Marx. Sperber’s approach is more pragmatic. He accepts that Marx was not a body of ideas, but a human being responding to events. In this context, it’s telling that Marx’s prime vocation was not as an academic but as a campaigning journalist: Sperber suggests Marx’s two stints at the helm of a radical paper in Cologne represented his greatest periods of professional fulfillment. Accordingly, much of what the scholars have tried to brand as Marxist philosophy was instead contemporary commentary, reactive and therefore full of contradiction.
在20世紀，很多學者費力調和馬克思很多作品中存在的矛盾內容，試圖塑造出一個連貫協調的馬克思主義。相比之下，斯珀伯的做法更加務實一些。他承認 馬克思不是一台思想機器，而是一個會對事件作出反應的人。在這種情景下，頗能說明問題的是，馬克思的主業並非學者，而是政治記者：斯珀伯指出，馬克思在科 隆的一家激進派報社兩次擔任負責人，是他職業成就感達到巔峰的時期。所以，學者們試圖打上馬克思主義哲學標誌的很多東西其實是對時事的解讀，是對當時事件 的反應，因而也就充滿了矛盾。
