Description and Table of Contents

Description

A philosophical explanation and defence of classical Marxism, this book aims to analyze the political reasoning involved in the "scientific socialist" tradition and apply it to contemporary political debates. The book contrasts scientific socialist reasoning to Utopian and abstract political thought, and considers the issues of liberty, modern technology and political action.
