Citizen Marx - Bruno Leipold

The First Book To A Comprehensive Exploration Of Marxrsquo;s Relationship To Republicanism, Arguing That It Is Essential To Understanding His Thought In Citizen Marx, Bruno Leipold Argues That, Contrary To Certain Interpretive Commonplaces, Karl Marxrsquo;s Thinking Was Deeply Informed By Republicanism. Marxrsquo;s Relation To Republicanism Changed Over The Course Of His Life, But Its Complex Influence On His Thought Cannot Be Reduced To Adoption Or Rejection. Challenging Common Depictions Of Marx That Downplay Or Ignore His Commitment To Politics, Democracy, And Freedom, Leipold Shows That Marx Viewed Democratic Political Institutions As Crucial To Overcoming The Social Unfreedom And Domination Of Capitalism.
