Was Marx himself a 'Marxist'? Was his visionary promise of
socialism betrayed by Marxist dictatorship? Is Marxism inevitably
totalitarian? What did Marx really say? "Introducing Marxism"
provides a fundamental account of Karl Marx's original philosophy,
its roots in 19th century European ideology, his radical economic
and social criticism of capitalism that inspired vast 20th century
revolutions. It assesses Marxism's Russian disciples, Lenin,
Trotsky and Stalin who forged a ruthless dogmatic Communism. The
book examines the alternative Marxist approaches of Gramsci, the
Frankfurt School of critical theory and the structuralist Marxism
of Althusser in the 1960s. It marshals postmodern interpretations
of Marxism and raises the spectre of 'post-Marxism' in Derrida's
confrontation with Fukuyama's 'end of history' doctrine.
"Introducing Aristotle" guides the reader through an explosion of
theories, from the establishment of systematic logic to the
earliest rules of science. Aristotle's authority extended beyond
his own lifetime to influence fundamentally Islamic philosophy and
medieval scholasticism. For fifteen centuries, he remained the
paradigm of knowledge itself. But can Aristotelian realism still be
used to underpin our conception of the world today?
