Description
Book SynopsisThe Marxism of Manuel Sacristan offers a substantial selection of some of the most significant writings on Marx, Marxism and radical social theory by Manuel Sacristan, Spain's most important Marxist philosopher. Whether discussing Marx's intellectual development and philosophical views, exploring central issues in Marxist theory or analysing the challenge to contemporary Marxism from feminism, pacifism and environmentalism, Sacristan emerges in these pages as both a major Marx scholar and a formidable social theorist in his own right.
