5.0 out of 5 stars
Explains complex philosophical insights without jargon.,
By jo_bro@ix.netcom.com (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction To Marx And Engels: A Critical Reconstruction, Second Edition (Dimensions of Philosophy) (Paperback)
Too often Marx and Engels are reduced to philosophical caricatures in order to serve an author's own agenda. Richard Schmitt's book is noteworth for his careful analysis of the enduring issues and insights of Marx and Engels. I enjoyed this refreshing reminder of what all the fuss was about.

Amazingly insightful!,
This review is from: Introduction To Marx And Engels: A Critical Reconstruction, Second Edition (Dimensions of Philosophy) (Paperback)
I have been trying to get an understanding of Marx/Engels that I could be comfortable with for years. This is it! Written without having to excise Lenin/Stalin/Trotsky/Mao to understand it. Mr. Schmitt is right-on with his very readable description of the nature of bourgeois hegemony of political power within the modern state.
He is very honest with the reader about where he thinks the holes are in Marx's theories. This should be required reading for anyone on the "Left", as well as for any young person attempting to understand how our society really works. |
