His thought spans a unique range of subjects, from materialism to classical philology, from the Enlightenment to Freud, from science to socialism, from the history of linguistics to 19th century Italian literature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTimpanaro confronted this manifold material with addictive clarity and incisive honesty. This book is the first serious attempt in any language to introduce Timpanaro's thought in its entirety. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on original archival research, Geue shows the astonishing breadth of Timpanaro's intellect and his eccentric dual profile as a Marxist and technical philologist. From this emerges not only a compelling portrait of a neglected radical thinker, but also a rallying call for the Left to revive its commitment to scientific truth and rigorous detail.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTom Geue\u003c\/b\u003e teaches Classical Studies at the Australian National University.
