Allen W. Wood, Karl Marx (Second Edition)
Formats Available
.PDF
This is one of the most respected books on Marx's philosophical thought.
Wood explains Marx's views from a philosophical standpoint and defends
Marx against common misunderstandings and criticisms of his views. All
the major philosophical topics in Marx's work are considered: the
central concept of alienation; historical materialism and Marx's account
of social classes; the nature and social function of morality;
philosophical materialism and Marx's atheism; and Marx's use of the
Hegelian dialectical method and the Marxian theory of value.
The
second edition has been revised to include a new chapter on capitalist
exploitation and new suggestions for further reading. Wood has also
added a substantial new preface which looks at Marx's thought in light
of the fall of the Soviet Union and our continued ambivalence towards
capitalism, exploring Marx's continuing relevance in the twenty-first
century.
