Revisiting Marx's Critique of Liberalism offers a theoretical
reconstruction of Karl Marx's new materialist understanding of
justice, legality, and rights through the vantage point of his
widely invoked but generally misunderstood critique of liberalism.
The book begins by reconstructing Marx's conception of justice and
rights through close textual interpretation and extrapolation. The
central thesis of the book is, firstly, that Marx regards justice
as an essential feature of any society, including the emancipated
society of the future; and secondly, that standards of justice and
right undergo transformation throughout history. The book then
tracks the enduring legacy of Marx's critique of liberal justice by
examining how leading contemporary political theorists such as John
Rawls, Jurgen Habermas, Axel Honneth, and Nancy Fraser have
responded to Marx's critique of liberalism in the face of global
financial capitalism and the hollowing out of
democratically-enacted law. The Marx that emerges from this book is
therefore a thoroughly modern thinker whose insights shed valuable
light on some of the most pressing challenges confronting liberal
democracies today.
