The collapse of Marxism as a compelling ideology and political force is one of the most important developments in the history of twentieth-century Europe. This book seeks to understand the failure of Marxism by viewing it up close, in the experiences of three important Marxist intellectuals—the Belgian Henri De Man, the German Max Horkheimer, and the Pole Leszek Kolakowski—each of whom embraced Marxism early in life and later decisively rejected it. The author focuses on the processes through which these three figures lost their faith in Marxism, thereby providing the framework for a more general account of modern ideological disenchantment. An introductory chapter surveys an earlier stage of that disenchantment by examining the appeal of Nietzsche and his concept of the superman to Marxist intellectuals in each of the major European socialist movements, focusing particularly on those who have lost confidence in the redemptive historical role of the proletariat. In studying the ideological trajectory of De Man, Horkheimer, and Kolakowski, the author identifies the common dilemmas they faced in their efforts to advance the Marxist cause. Those dilemmas arose in large part out of the clash between their bourgeois ethical sensibilities and the materialistic and deterministic outlook of orthodox Marxism. This clash provides a connecting link between the three generations of Marxist intellectuals dealt with in the study. The author also discusses the aftermath of these three versions of ideological disenchantment—the attempts of each of these intellectuals to reconstruct a view of the world following the dissolution of his Marxist faith. The book concludes by placing Marxism in a broad historical context, and raises questions about its place—and that of the utopian imagination in general—within Western civilization.

Hendrik de Man (1885-1953) was een van de meest invloedrijke Europese politici van zijn generatie. Zijn naam is onlosmakelijk verbonden met het illustere Plan van de Arbeid, kortweg Plan De Man. Tijdens de troebele jaren dertig wilde de socialist De Man met die aanpak de crisis bestrijden, maar de haute finance lag dwars. Meteen na de Duitse inval in mei 1940 riep hij de bevolking op zich niet te verzetten. Hij hoopte om samen met de autoritaire Leopold III een corporatief België te kunnen inrichten. Hitler zag er geen heil in. De Man trok zich in de winter van 1941 terug in de Franse Alpen en kreeg na de bevrijding politiek asiel in Zwitserland. De krijgsraad veroordeelde hem in 1946, een beslissing die hij nooit zou kunnen verkroppen. Tot daar het levensverhaal. Wie er achter de mythe schuilging, is veel minder bekend. Jan Willem Stutje slaagt erin de fascinerende figuur in al zijn tegenstrijdigheden zichtbaar te maken. Verrassend is de aandacht voor de tragiek in De Mans bestaan: zijn mislukte huwelijken, de depressies en het morele en politieke verval waarin hij berustte. Met veel aandacht voor de historische context schetst Stutje de levensloop van een geniale en ongenaakbare denker die eindigde in verguizing en vergetelheid.
