Constructing Marxist Ethics: Critique, Normativity, Praxis Summary

Constructing Marxist Ethics: Critique, Normativity, Praxis: Studies in Critical Social Science, Volume 74 by Michael J. Thompson

Does Marxism possess an ethical impulse? Is there a moral foundation that underpins the Marxist critique of capitalism and the vision for social progress? The essays collected in Constructing Marxist Ethics: Critique, Normativity, Praxis argue that there is such an ethical grounding for Marxist theory. The essays, each from different vantage points, construct what a Marxian ethics should look like: what kind of values should be at the heart of the Marxian enterprise.
