ISBN: 9781349415984 / Angielski / Miękka / 245 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The conventional wisdom after 1989 was that socialism was finished.

Ten years later things look different: economic crisis has hit the world economy, communist parties and their successors have gained significant electoral support in the former Soviet Union and eastern Europe, and west European social democracy faces a growing...

ISBN: 9781349417667 / Angielski / Miękka / 203 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Marxism's uneasy relationship with ethics a small number of prominent theorists considered it imperative to highlight the moral principles implicit in Marx's social theory and to develop these ethics in the light of changing conditions.

This collection brings together analyses by leading scholars on those thinkers who made significant contributions to ethical thinking within the Marxist tradition - Kautsky, Bloch, Fromm, Marcuse, Lefebvre, Macpherson and Heller.
