Jaime Edwards and Brian Leiter begin with an overview of Marx's life and intellectual development, including his early years as a journalist in Germany before his exile in London. They then introduce and assess the fundamental elements of Marx’s thought:
- Marx’s theory of history and historical change (historical materialism)
- class conflict, the state and the Communist revolution
- Marx’s theory of economics, especially the labour theory of value, and his prediction of the collapse of capitalism
- the nature and role of ideology in Marx’s thought
- Marx’s theory of human nature and the good life, including his arguments concerning alienation
- Marx’s legacy and influence, including Western Marxism, the Frankfurt School, and “feminist Marxism”
Including annotated further reading suggestions at the end of each chapter and a glossary of technical terms, this is an indispensable introduction to Marx's philosophical thought. It will also be extremely useful to those in related disciplines such as politics, sociology, history and political economy.
