Description

Karl Marx's original philosophy remains a fundamental subject of study and debate. This book provides an in-depth account of his ideas, their roots in 19th century European ideology, and their influence on radical economic and social criticism of capitalism. Marxism has evolved over time, with various interpretations emerging from its Russian disciples, including Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin, as well as alternative approaches such as Gramsci's critical theory and Althusser's structuralist Marxism. The book also explores postmodern perspectives on Marxism and the concept of 'post-Marxism' in response to Fukuyama's 'end of history' doctrine. By examining the development of Marxist thought, this book offers a nuanced understanding of its core principles and their ongoing relevance in contemporary debates about politics, ideology, and social change.
