Description for Marx and Human Nature: Refutation of a Legend
Paperback. Num Pages: 144 pages. BIC Classification: JPFC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 198 x 129. Weight in Grams: 367.
In this passionate and polemical classic work, Norman Geras argues that the view that Marx broke with all conceptions of human nature in 1845 is wrong. Rather, his later writings are informed by an idea of a specifically human nature that fulfills both explanatory and normative functions. Over one hundred and thirty years after Marx's death, this book-combining the strengths of analytical philosophy and classical Marxism-rediscovers a central part of his heritage.

Reviews for Marx and Human Nature: Refutation of a Legend
This remarkable short book deserves to be widely read and not only by those interested in Marxology. For it achieves something rare in its field: rationally compelling proof. Not only does it conclusively refute a widely current legend about Marx s thought ... it does so with striking elegance, economy, and argumentative power. Steven Lukes, Times Literary Supplement
