Recenzje

'At a time when Pope Francis at one extreme and ISIS on the other have forced us to reconsider our views on what religion is and can be, Marx's easily misinterpreted writings on religion deserve another - and, this time, closer - reading. And who better to guide us through them than the greatest living scholar on this subject, David McLellan - with the kind of balanced critical help he receives from the impressive group of authors represented in this volume? HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.'  —Professor Bertell Ollman, Dept. of Politics, NYU Author of Alienation: Marx's Conception of Man in Capitalist Society, Dialectical Investigations, and Dance of the Dialectic: Steps in Marx's Method
