Marx's Concept of Man
About this book
An exploration of how Marx's ideas have been misused and misunderstood, from the
New York Timesābestselling author of
Escape from Freedom.
Ā
In the Western world, and especially in the United States, Karl Marx is perceived as the spiritual godfather of Lenin and Stalināsomeone 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 Marx's ideas have been misappropriated to further causes antithetical to his true intentions.
Ā
Fromm's study presents Marx as a humanist and social scientist. Painstakingly traveling through Marx's oeuvre, Fromm shows how Marx's real goal was to eliminate man'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.Ā Marx's Concept of ManĀ also includes a selection of Marx'sĀ Early Writings, brought to English-speaking readers for the first time in 1961.
Ā
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm, with rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author's estate.
