English summary: The originality of Kostas Axelos' book, Marx penseur de la technique, first published in 1969, and which constituted his doctoral thesis, had provoked some lively debate when presented at the Sorbonne in 1959. Today, Karl Marx's thought calls for a different sort of reading: the incisive and original one given by young Axelos having distinguished in Marx's work (apart from his doctrinal interpretations and any ideological manipulation) a beyond-relevant thought having as its point of departure humanity and the technological development of productive forces which are the actual basis of all human development. Marx is first and foremost a technician of the analysis of alienation accompanying the rapid expansion of technology. [...] Technology, the secret behind modernity which assumes diverse forms, is also at work in Marx's writings, while the Marxian effort is aimed solely at a dis-alienated and total deployment of the power of technology. Hasn't the concept of thought and reality, and of awareness and the world constantly emerged in the past and continued to do so today? Countless questions are being raised which the author does not hesitate to address. Beyond Marx and Marxism, Kostas Axelos' approach, which truly seems very timely to us, strives to help us achieve a better understanding of global technology. Kostas Axelos had worked tirelessly throughout his life to promote this open, multi-dimensional, planetary, challenging and enigmatic new thought. French description: Paru pour la premiere fois en 1969, le livre de Kostas Axelos, Marx penseur de la technique , constitue sa these de doctorat qui avait provoque par son originalite de vives discussions lorsqu'elle fut soutenue (1959) a la Sorbonne.Aujourd'hui, plus d'un demi-siecle apres, la pensee de Karl Marx - devenue apres lui marxisme, methode et doctrine, theorie et pratique officiellement systematisees, essor d'un systeme politique et d'un monde pourtant effondres - exige davantage cette autre lecture: la lecture incisive et originale que lui avait fait le jeune Axelos ayant distingue dans l'oeuvre de Marx (en dehors de ses interpretations doctrinales et de toute manipulation ideologique) une pensee plus qu'actuelle qui part de l'homme et du developpement technologique des forces productives qui constituent la base reelle de tout developpement de l'humanite. Marx est avant tout un technicien de l'analyse de l'alienation accompagnant l'essor de la technique. [...] La technique, constituant le secret de l'epoque moderne et prenant des aspects divers, est aussi a l'oeuvre dans l'oeuvre de Marx, et l'effort marxien ne vise qu'un deploiement desaliene et total de la puissance de la technique . La question de la pensee et de la realite, de la conscience et du monde ne surgit-elle pas constamment jadis et toujours ? Il y a plein de questions qui se posent et que l'ecrivain n'hesite pas a affronter. Par-dela Marx et le marxisme, l'approche qu'en fait Kostas Axelos et qui nous apparait vraiment tres actuelle, vise une meilleure comprehension de la technique mondiale. La promotion de cette nouvelle pensee, ouverte et multidimensionnelle, planetaire, questionnante et enigmatique, Kostas Axelos l'avait sans cesse developpee jusqu' a la fin de ses jours.
