Critique of Hegel's 'Philosophy Of Right' (Cambridge Studies in the History and Theory of Politics) [Paperback]

Karl Marx (Author), Joseph O'Malley (Editor, Translator), Annette Jolin (Translator)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0521292115 | ISBN-13: 978-0521292115 | Publication Date: August 26, 1977

This book is a complete translation of Marx's critical commentary on paragraphs 261-313 of Hegel's major work in political theory. In this text Marx subjects Hegel's doctrine on the internal constitution of the state to a lengthy analysis. It was Marx's first attempt to expose and criticize Hegel's philosophy in general and his political philosophy in particular. It also represents his early efforts to criticize existing political institutions and to clarify the relations between the political and economic aspects of society. The Critique provides textual evidence in support of the argument that Marx's early writings do not exhibit radically different doctrinal principles and theoretical and practical concerns from his later work. This edition also includes a translation of the introduction Marx wrote for his proposed revised version of the Critique which he never completed. In a substantial introduction, Professor O'Malley provides valuable information on Marx's intellectual development.
