Karl Marx and the Intellectual Origins of Dialectical Materialism

Více o knize

Exploring the evolution of Marxist thought, this book traces the lineage of 'dialectical materialism' from its German philosophical roots to its influence on Russian social-democratic groups in the 1890s. It reconstructs Marx's foundational ideas and scrutinizes the adaptations made by him and his Russian disciples, leading to the formulation of 'dialectical materialism' as articulated by Plekhanov. Through this examination, the work highlights the ideological shifts that shaped revolutionary movements in Russia.
