Marx's Concept of Man

Marx's Concept of Man

Who was the real Karl Marx?

In the Western world, and especially in the United States, Karl Marx is perceived as the spiritual godfather of Lenin and Stalinâ€”someone bent on creating a state where everyone worships a centralized bureaucracy. Social philosopher Erich Fromm argues that Marx has been entirely misrepresented and misunderstood, and that Marxâ€™s ideas have been misappropriated to further causes antithetical to his true intentions.
Â
Frommâ€™s study presents Marx as a humanist and social scientist. Painstakingly traveling through Marxâ€™s oeuvre, Fromm shows how Marxâ€™s real goal was to eliminate manâ€™s alienation, and allow individuals to live and appreciate a life of freedom. Furthermore, Fromm believes, Marx would have considered the Communist governments of Russia and Cuba as wrong-headed.Â Marxâ€™s Concept of ManÂ also includes a selection of Marxâ€™sÂ Early Writings, brought to English-speaking readers for the first time in 1961.
Â
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm, with rare images and never-before-seen documents from the authorâ€™s estate.
