Isabelle Garo (born 5 September 1963) is a French philosopher specialising in the works of Karl Marx. [1]
Garo's research focuses on the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, put in their context and broached from both theoretical and political angles.

She is president of the Grande Édition Marx et Engels (GEME), a project working on the first complete edition of the writings of Marx and Engels in the French language.[ citation needed ]
