The Ethical Foundations of Marxism, first published in 1962 and
corrected and revised for a 1972 edition, examines carefully and
critically the origin, precise nature and subsequent role of Marx's
ethical beliefs. Drawing freely on Marx's still largely
untranslated philosophical works and drafts the author elicits the
ethical presuppositions with which Marx began. He then examines the
intellectual development that made Marx a Communist and seeks to
clarify the place of Marx's ethic in his mature, 'materialist'
work. Professor Kamenka distinguishes sharply between the critical,
ethical views of Marx and the inept, conventional applications of
his doctrine by Engels. He appraises the 'ethics' of the Communist
Party and traces the development of the moral and legal theory in
the Soviet Union. He concludes by subjecting Marxism as a whole to
a radical, ethical and philosophical criticism for which Marx
himself laid some of the foundations.
