In this book Marx is revealed as a powerful contributor to the
debates that now dominate philosophy and political theory. Using
the techniques of analytic philosophy to unite Marx's general
statements with his practice as historian and activist, Richard W.
Miller derives important arguments about the rational basis of
morality, the nature of power, and the logic of testing and
explanation. The book also makes Marx's theory of change useful for
current social science, by replacing economic determinist readings
with a new interpretation in which systems of power relations are
the basis of change.
Part One discusses Marx's criticisms of the moral point of view
as a basis for social choice. The outlook that emerges is humane
but antimoral. Part Two argues that Marx' concepts of the ruling
class is a means of measuring political power that is ignored yet
urgently needed by present-day social science. Part Three bases
Marx's theory of history on the dynamics of power, challenging both
the standard, economic determinist readings of the theory and
standard conceptions of science.
