Description

The German Ideology: A New Abridgement by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels A new abridgement of Marx and Engels's 1846 work, edited and with an introduction by philosopher Tom Whyman. This edition sheds light on one of the most difficult texts in Marx's oeuvre, offering a brilliant insight into materialist philosophical therapy. Written in 1846, The German Ideology was later abandoned by its authors but rediscovered in the 1930s. Until now, there has been no wholly satisfactory English version available, with only abridged editions or facsimile versions that lack scholarly notes. This new Repeater Classics edition remedies this by expanding on existing abridgements and amending the translation to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the text. With Tom Whyman's critical introduction and added notes, non-specialists can engage with The German Ideology for the first time, while scholars will appreciate the expanded section on Max Stirner. This new edition brings Marx's substantial vision of communism to a wider audience at a time when interest in his work is increasing.
