Marx and Human Nature - (Radical Thinkers) by Norman Geras (Paperback)

This book by Norman Geras is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding Marx's true views on human nature.

In this passionate and polemical work, Geras places the sixth of Marx's Theses on Feuerbach under rigorous scrutiny, arguing that it must be read in the context of Marx's work as a whole.

He challenges the belief that Marx denied the conception of human nature, instead revealing a later-written idea of a specifically human nature that fulfills both explanatory and normative functions.

With striking elegance and argumentative power, Geras conclusively refutes a widely current legend about Marx's thought, making this book an essential read for anyone interested in Marxology.
