Ever since the discovery of Marx's Early Writings, most of the literature concerned with Marx's intellectual development has centred around the so-called gap between the 'young' Marx, who was considered to be a humanist thinker, and the 'older' Marx, who was held to be a determinist with little concern for anything outside his narrow theory of historical materialism. Dr Avineri claims that such a gap between the 'young' and 'older' Marx did not exist. He supports his claim by a detailed study of the whole corpus of Marx's writing on social and political thought.

From Hegel to Marx,
By John C. Landon "nemonemini" (New York City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Social and Political Thought of Karl Marx (Cambridge Studies in the History and Theory of Politics) (Paperback)
There are endless perspetives and their commentaries on Marx, but the extraordinary fact is that Marx is a moving target very difficult to understand. This classic text, also a handy companion and continuation to the author's work on Hegel, claims to rescue Marx from his friends and enemies, and is brave attempt at that, whatever a more radical view of the result might be. The author's doubloon of books, tracing the Hegelian sources of Marx, one on Hegel's theory of the modern state, and Marx's dialectical continuation, makes a useful exercise in reorienting one thinking on this forever important emergent critique of political economy and the basic 'crisis of 1848', which has never gone away.

This review is from: The Social and Political Thought of Karl Marx (Cambridge Studies in the History and Theory of Politics) (Paperback)
If one wants to understand Marx's thinking, then this is a great first step in the long journey. This is not a book for a casual reader, nor is it a book for those who do not honestly seek the rigor of Marxism as more than a mere caricature that it has become over the decades; however, if you are not repelled by the previous clauses, buy this book. A great work of scholarship!
