Marx was a highly original and polymathic thinker, unhampered by disciplinary boundaries, whose intellectual influence has been enormous. Yet in the wake of the collapse of Marxism-Leninism in Eastern Europe the question arises as to how important his work really is for us now. An important dimension of this volume is to place Marx's writings in their historical context and to separate what he actually said from what others (in particular, Engels) interpreted him as saying. Informed by current debates and new perspectives, the volume provides a comprehensive coverage of all the major areas to which Marx made significant contributions.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Invaluable,
This review is from: The Cambridge Companion to Marx (Cambridge Companions to Philosophy) (Paperback)
This work makes reading Marx easier and more enriching because the critics are so astute and the cover a diversity of thought. Terrell Carver's opening chapter, in particular, is a good article for framing any discussion on Marx and how to use his life and works as a lens to view the world.
