The General Will - Rousseau, Marx, Communism (Paperback)

This bold and unabashedly utopian book advances the thesis that
Marx's notion of communism is a defensible, normative ideal.
However, unlike many others who have written in this area, Levine
applies the tools and techniques of analytic philosophy to
formulate and defend his radical, political programme. The argument
proceeds by filtering the ideals and institutions of Marxism
through Rousseau's notion of the 'general will'. Once Rousseau's
ideas are properly understood it is possible to construct a
community of equals who share some vision of a common good that can
be achieved and maintained through cooperation or coordination that
is at once both voluntary and authoritative. The book engages with
liberal theory in order to establish its differences from
Rousseauean-Marxian political theory. This provocative book will be
of particular interest to political philosophers and political
scientists concerned with Marxism, socialist theory and democratic
theory.
