In addition to his vast intellectual acquisitions, Garaudy's commitment to using critical tools against structuralism in a disciplined, methodical way becomes clear. He presented hypotheses, proposals, and examples while posing essential questions, continuously reviewing ideas from their parts to the whole. While Garaudy identifies the failures of structuralism both theoretically and practically, he also sought to respond to the proponents of this current, pinpointing its intellectual flaws and theoretical dysfunctions. This led him to invalidate the quality of structuralist theory in all fields where its theorists tried to prove the possibility of its practical and generalizable application. Garaudy’s critical approach to of Marx's structuralist theory granted him the authority to judge it as a theory of the "death of man."
