This book presents for the first time the correspondence during the
years 1954 to 1978 between the Marxist-Humanist and feminist
philosopher Raya Dunayevskaya (1910-87) and two other noted
thinkers, the Hegelian Marxist philosopher and social theorist
Herbert Marcuse (1898-1979) and the psychologist and social critic
Erich Fromm (1900-80), both of the latter members of the Frankfurt
School of Critical Theory. In their introduction, editors Kevin B.
Anderson and Russell Rockwell focus on the theoretical and
political dialogues in these letters, which cover topics such as
dialectical social theory, Marxist economics, socialist humanism,
the structure and contradictions of modern capitalism, the history
of Marxism and of the Frankfurt School, feminism and revolution,
developments in the USSR, Cuba, and China, and emergence of the New
Left of the 1960s. The editors' extensive explanatory notes offer
helpful background information, definitions of theoretical
concepts, and source references. Among the thinkers discussed in
the correspondence -- some of them quite critically-- are Karl
Marx, G. W. F.Hegel, Rosa Luxemburg, Georg Lukacs, Theodor Adorno,
Max Horkheimer, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, V. I. Lenin,
Nikolai Bukharin, Sigmund Freud, Leon Trotsky, Mao Zedong, Daniel
Bell, and Seymour Martin Lipset. As a whole, this volume shows the
deeply Marxist and humanist concerns of these thinkers, each of
whom had a lifelong concern with rethinking Marx and Hegel as the
foundation for an analysis of capitalist modernity and its forces
of opposition.
