GREAT PHILOSOPHERS: MARX

In this highly engaging account, Terry Eagleton outlines the relationship between production, labour and ownership which lies at the core of Marx's thinking. Marx's utopia was a place in which labour is increasingly automated, emancipating a wealth of sensuous individual development so that 'savouring a peach [is an aspect] of our self-actualisation as much as building dams or churning out coat-hangers'. Combining extracts from Marx's revolutionary philosophy, along with insightful analysis, this is the perfect guide to one of the world's greatest thinkers.
