Ethical Marxism: The Categorical Imperative of Liberation: Creative Marxism, cartea 01

Autor Paul R. Martin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2008
This book aims to reinvigorate the Marxist project and the role it might play in illuminating the way beyond capitalism. Though political economy and scientific investigation are needed for pure Marxism, Martin’s argument is that the extent to which these elements are needed cannot be determined within the conversations of political economy and other investigations into causal mechanisms. What has not been done, and what this book does, is to argue for the possibility of a rethought Marxism that takes ethics as its core, displacing political economy and "scientific" investigation.

Descriere

What role does ethics play in Marxism? Can ethical imperatives displace political economy at Marxism's core? In an age of rampant capitalism, can the vision of a free global society be kept alive? Bill Martin contends that these questions can't be answered within the cold confines of theoretical debate, but must be examined within a conversation of what is right and good. In arguing that the effects of capitalism cannot be judged solely by political and economic implications, Martin uses examples from science fiction as well as the real-world example of animal rights.
