Marxism's ethical thinkers
Lawrence Wilde (ed)
Palgrave Macmillan - Basingstoke
2001
In Marxism's uneasy relationship with ethics a small number of prominent theorists considered it imperative to highlight the moral principles implicit in Marx's social theory and to develop these ethics in the light of changing conditions. They developed a humanistic Marxism in stark contrast to the crude 'end justifies the means' approach of Stalinism.
Ethical Marxism and its radical critics
Lawrence Wilde
Palgrave Macmillan - Basingstoke
1998
Ethical Marxism and its Radical Critics argues that Marx's conception of human essence is the foundation for an ethic of liberation which permeates his social theory. It testifies to his significant debt to Greek philosophy and culture.
