Description
Alasdair MacIntyre's Engagement with Marxism Selected Writings 1953-1974 by Alasdair C. MacIntyre is a collection of essays that explore his early engagement with Marxist thought. During the 1950s and 1960s, MacIntyre was an active member of Britain's Marxist Left, contributing to various groups including the Communist Party, New Left, and International Socialism. This selection of writings from this period reveals how MacIntyre's youthful ideas continued to shape his mature ethical thought. As the Soviet regimes in Russia and Eastern Europe collapsed, MacIntyre's revolutionary Marxist ethics of liberation remained a powerful force, relevant today as it was half a century ago. Edited by Paul Blackledge, this collection provides valuable insight into MacIntyre's development as a philosopher and offers a unique perspective on the intersection of Marxism and ethics.
