“Geoffrey Kurtz’s insightful book is both a biographical and analytical survey of Jaurès’s political and philosophical thought that accurately describes him as a forerunner of the reformist orientation of French socialism. It places emphasis on Jaurèsian idealism, as opposed to Marxist materialism, in socialist theory and practice.”
