This book argues that a renewed consideration of artistic value
should both critique contemporary bureaucratic misunderstandings of
what art is and address the complexities and questions of
contemporary philosophers in new and provocative ways. Writer and
poet Ali Alizadeh focusses on the artistic theories of the key
Western philosopher of value, Karl Marx. He explores Marx's
thoughts on art and literature and provides a new account of his
revolutionary view of why we make art and how we understand art's
value. By returning to Marx's writings, from his juvenile poetry
and earliest journalism to his final publications, Alizadeh
proposes a theory which not only challenges many tenets of
contemporary Marxist literary or cultural theory, but one which
also presents us with a profound, coherent and stimulating theory
of art that defines, values and demonstrates artistic practice. By
mapping Marx's intellectual development from the ideals of a young
Hegelian to the polemics of a seasoned internationalist communist
he shows that Marx never lost sight of art as a key aspect of human
activity.
