This is one of the most respected books on Marx's philosophical
thought. Wood explains Marx's views from a philosophical standpoint
and defends Marx against common misunderstandings and criticisms of
his views. All the major philosophical topics in Marx's work are
considered: the central concept of alienation; historical
materialism and Marx's account of social classes; the nature and
social function of morality; philosophical materialism and Marx's
atheism; and Marx's use of the Hegelian dialectical method and the
Marxian theory of value. The second edition has been revised to
include a new chapter on capitalist exploitation and new
suggestions for further reading. Wood has also added a substantial
new preface which looks at Marx's thought in light of the fall of
the Soviet Union and our continued ambivalence towards capitalism,
exploring Marx's continuing relevance in the twenty-first century.
