Marx's written output was massive. Much of it remained unpublished
in his own lifetime and there is still no complete edition of the
extant works, although most have been published in one form or
another. This book, first published in 1983, provides an analytical
guide to the complex chronological and evolving substantive
structure of Marx's main writings in critical theory. The format is
concise and accessible, with each phase of Marx's evolving critical
theory of capitalist society being summarized in a diagram. An
invaluable guide for students of Marx, it will lead them through
the maze of his works to a potentially deeper understanding of his
thought. Allen Oakley believes that, in order to fully comprehend
Marx's critical theory, it is essential to trace its complex
evolution. Any serious study of Marx's critique of capitalism must
begin with an appreciation of the bibliographical framework within
which his evolving ideas were manifested. Oakley is opposed to
approaches to the study of Marx's critique which take little
account of its chronology; such approaches, he believes, are
incomplete and potentially misleading with respect to the meaning
and significance of the critique. The book includes bibliographical
evidence about the unfinished state of Marx's critical project and
its ever-changing scope and organization. It argues, therefore,
that the methodological and substantive status of Capital must be
interpreted cautiously, for bibliographical evidence shows it to be
an unfinished climax to an ambiguous critic-theoretical project of
uncertain dimensions. To read it as in any sense a final and
definitive statement of Marx's critical theory is, the author
believes, to be deluded.
