Description

"In this book Jonathan Wolff argues that we can detach Marx the critic of current society from Marx the prophet of future society, and that he remains the most impressive critic we have of liberal, capitalist, bourgeois society. He also shows that the value of the 'great thinkers' does not depend on the truth of their grand theories, but also on other features such as their originality, insight, and systematic vision. On this account, too, Marx still richly deserves to be read."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence

The dominant theme of Marx's Early Writings is that the capitalist society of his day is not properly fit for human consumption.
