Along with Anwar Sheikh and Vijay Prashad, I rank Gabriel Rockhill as one of the most important corrective intellectuals of Western Marxism in the last century

We have not seen theoreticians of this caliber since the first half of the twentieth century

His contributions about Hegel alone are like huge, though not yet widespread. Let alone his takedown of Western Marxism!
