Synopsis
Excerpt from Ethical Foundations of Marxism
Karl marx, I Shall argue in this book, came to Communism in the interests of freedom, not of security. In his early years he sought to free himself from the pressure exercised by the mediocre German police state of Frederick William IV. He rejected its censorship, its elevation of authority and of religion, its cultural Philistinism and its empty talk of national interest and moral duty. Later he came to believe that such pressures and such human dependence could not be destroyed without destroying capitalism and the whole system of private property from which capitalism had developed.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the philosophical foundations of Marxism, exploring the ethical principles that underpin the ideology. The author argues that Karl Marx's early writings reveal a deep concern for individual freedom, not merely economic security. They present a vision of a society where individuals can engage in spontaneous cooperation without the constraints of authority or the pursuit of material gain. The book highlights the paradoxes within Marx's thought, particularly his belief in a classless society emerging from a class struggle. It also examines the influence of Friedrich Engels, whose emphasis on economic determinism and utilitarian concerns diluted the ethical dimensions of Marxism. Ultimately, the book sheds light on the complexities of Marx's ethical thought, revealing the tensions between his desire for a free and just society and the historical determinism that permeated his later writings. Its insights provide a nuanced understanding of the ethical dilemmas inherent in Marxism, offering valuable perspectives on the interplay between freedom, equality, and the pursuit of a truly human society.
