| Description: | This volume, first published in 1996, contains complete translations of Marx's most important political writings after 1848. The texts (including the Manifesto of the Communist Party, and the little-known Notes on Adolph Wagner) allow the close contact between Marx and contemporary politics to emerge in a clearer light. Marx: Later Political Writings, first published in 1996, brings together translations of Marx''s most important texts in political philosophy written after 1848. Marx challenged political theory to its very fundamentals, as his works do not follow traditional models for exploring politics theoretically. In his introduction, Terrell Carver situates Marx in a politics of democratic constitutionalism and revolutionary communism. The works are presented here complete, according to the first editions or the earliest manuscript state, and include the Manifesto of the Communist Party, the Preface of 1859 to A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy, The Civil War in France, and the little-known Notes on Adolph Wagner. More than most political theorists, Marx made contemporary politics the focus for his theoretical work. He created a distinctive kind of political theory, and this volume makes it accessible today. |
