Description and Table of Contents
Description
In this book, the author presents a critical re-examination of socialist thought, from Marx to the American New Left. The book is organized around major thinkers and turning points in the history of socialism, including separate chapters on Kautsky, Bernstein and Lenin. The book centres on the question of how Marxism can contribute to the extension of socialist democracy and issues of theory and practice, class and social movements, organizations and policy, and nationalism and internationalism are included in the discussion. Bronner seeks to comprehend the socialist project in terms of a new political theory predicated on ethical principles and positive aims. Thus, his book functions not only as a critical framework for a historical tradition of socialism, but also as a foundation for a new approach to socialism which speaks to the needs of the modern era.
