Marxism and History - Hardcover
The first of the five chapters is concerned with examining what Marx and Engels wrote on the theory of history. This, in the author's view, yields three different approaches - to the meaning of history as a whole. the way it works in practice, and its underlying laws. The next three chapters are more specifically concerned with the problems arising from these approaches. In the one dealing with its 'driving forces' we have above all to explain the concept of history as practice, history-making activity and its subjective centre. The chapter on the totality of the historical process is devoted to the question of the general meaning of history, which was very prominent on Marx's and Engels's horizon in 1844, though it then receded from their field of vision without ever completely disappearing from it. In the chapter on historical necessity, we discuss some of the key problems that arise from attempting to organize history into as objective logical system. The last chapter discusses very selectively some problems of the Marxist interpretation of contemporary history.
