Description
The Early Manuscripts to the International presents a fresh perspective on Karl Marx's intellectual biography. This collection of little-noted and often misunderstood stages in his intellectual development offers a close examination of Marx's ideas on post-Hegelian philosophy, alienated labour, and revolutionary theory. The book is divided into three parts, exploring Marx's early influences, the genesis of his magnum opus, and his role in the International Working Men's Association. Through rigorous textual and historical analysis, this volume sheds new light on Marx's critical theory and its relationship to twentieth-century Marxisms. By reconstructing Marx's intellectual biography with great textual and historical rigour, this work provides a nuanced understanding of "another Marx" - a thinker distinct from the one often depicted by his critics and ostensible disciples.
