In this excellent study of Karl Marx's thought, Cyril Smith takes a
long and winding route that starts with classical world thought.
When he arrives at the door to Marx's pantheon we see that, with
the significant yet largely overlooked example of Spinoza, most
thinkers-and especially Western ones-are opposed to essential
aspects of democracy. In Marx and the Future of the Human Cyril
Smith explains that Karl Marx, more than any other thinker, is
misrepresented by what has come to be understood as "Marxism."
Marxism has developed into, among other things, a method for
analyzing capitalism, a way of looking at history, and a way to
theorize the role of the working class in a future society. Marx,
however, speaks about a conception of human life that was absent
during his lifetime and remains absent today. Marx sought "the
alteration of humans on a mass scale:" economics, politics, daily
lived-life, and spiritual life. In discussing Marx and
spirituality, Cyril Smith relates Marx to the thought of William
Blake. Someone coming to Marx for the first time as well as the
seasoned scholar can read this book. Marx and the Future of the
Human is a book rife with thoughtful and creative connections
written by someone who has spent most of his life close to the
spirit of Karl Marx's thought.
