This book constitutes a critical intervention in the theoretical
discussion over the political relationship between democracy and
communism. Shedding light on the philosophical origins of the
democracy debate, it draws a clear demarcation line between
liberalism and republicanism, arguing that after rejecting the
former and supporting the latter, the young Marx endorsed 'true
democracy' as a prelude to his forthcoming theory of communism. To
this end, while following the dynamics of the Marxian history of
political ideas and pre-communist theory of the state, the book
takes into account the thought of a vast range of philosophers and
political theorists, starting from the Ancient times (Aristotle),
passing through the Age of Enlightenment (Spinoza, Rousseau), the
German Idealist tradition (Hegel) the Young Hegelians'
Republicanism (Bauer, Ruge, Feuerbach), and reaching our own times
(Arendt, Colletti, MacPherson, Castoriadis, Poulantzas). It will be
of interest to students and scholars interested in the history of
political thought, theories of democracy, and Marxism.
