Though Marxism is the dominant philosophical theory applied to
class in academia, its real-life inconsistencies, particularly
stereotyping, have troubling effects on working class studies. As a
result of its hegemony, alternative discourses have been
effectively shut out of the academic world. This critical work
seeks to establish a new philosophy of class, drawing on
disciplines as diverse as sociology, cognitive science,
anthropology and psychology and applying a decidedly Weberian
hermeneutical lens. Topics covered include a detailed exploration
of Marxism, a review of working class literature, post-marxist
theories of class and the future of the field.
