En savoir plus sur le livre

Exploring the philosophical roots of Marx's vision, this book argues that his ideas on communism are deeply influenced by Aristotle's classical humanism. It critiques Engels' interpretation that framed Marx's vision as purely materialistic and economically egalitarian, which shaped Soviet Communism. Instead, it emphasizes Marx's alignment with Aristotelian "distributive justice," highlighting a notion of proportionate equality. The analysis spans Marx's early academic works, including his doctoral dissertation, providing a comprehensive view of his philosophical evolution.
