Ethical Marxism and its Radical Critics

Meer over het boek

Focusing on Marx's conception of human essence, this work posits it as the basis for an ethic of liberation within his social theory. The author highlights Marx's influences from Greek philosophy, while also examining the development of his humanistic ethic by thinkers like Marcuse and Fromm. Critiques from Habermas, Gorz, as well as feminist and ecological perspectives are addressed, leading to a revised discussion on advancing towards a socialist ethical community. The book offers valuable insights into these complex interactions and their implications for social progress.
