Why did Karl Marx want to exclude politics and the market from his
vision of a future socialism? In Karl Marx: The Burden of Reason,
Allan Megill begins with this question. Megill's examination of
Marx's formative writings casts new light on Marx's relation to
philosophy and reveals a hitherto largely unknown 'rationalist'
Marx. In demonstrating how Marx's rationalism permeated his
attempts to understand politics, economics, and history generally,
Megill forces the reader to rethink Marx's entire intellectual
project. While Megill writes as an intellectual historian and
historian of philosophy, his highly original redescription of the
Marxian enterprise has important implications for how we think
about the usability of Marx's work today. Karl Marx: The Burden of
Reason will be of interest to those who wish to reflect on the fate
of Marxism during the era of Soviet Communism. It will also be of
interest to those who wish to discern what is living and what is
dead, what is adequate and what requires replacement or
supplementation, in the work of a figure who, in spite of
everything, remains one of the greatest philosophers and social
scientists of the modern world.
