Karl Marx
Author: Shlomo Avineri
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300248776
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
This new exploration of Marx as a Jewish thinker presents “a perceptive and fair-minded corrective to superficial treatments” of his life and work (Jonathan Rose, Wall Street Journal). A philosopher, historian, sociologist, economist, current affairs journalist, and editor, Karl Marx was one of the most influential and revolutionary thinkers of modern history. But he is rarely thought of as a Jewish thinker, and his Jewish background is either overlooked or misrepresented. Here, distinguished scholar Shlomo Avineri argues that Marx’s Jewish origins made a significant impression on his work. Marx was born in Trier, then part of Prussia, and his family had enjoyed full emancipation under earlier French control of the area. But then its annexation to Prussia deprived the Jewish population of its equal rights. These developments led to the reluctant conversion of Marx’s father, and similar tribulations radicalized many other Jewish intellectuals of that time. Avineri puts Marx’s Jewish background in its proper and balanced perspective, and traces Marx’s intellectual development in light of the historical, intellectual, and political contexts in which he lived.

The Theory of Revolution in the Young Marx
Author: Michael Lowy
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004441603
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
This book proposes a Marxist analysis of young Marx's intellectual evolution, from left neo-Hegelianism to his new philosophy of praxis. It distinguishes itself from most other books on the early Marx by its object - the theory of (proletarian) revolutionary self-emancipation - and its method: to understand the movement of Marx's political and philosophical ideas in relation to the most radical currents in the labour movement of his time (beginning with Chartism and the uprising of the Silesian weavers in 1844). The central theoretical argument of the author is that Marx's philosophy of praxis - first formulated in the Thesis on Feuerbach - is at the same time the founding stone of a new world view, and the methodological basis for the theory of revolutionary self-emancipation.

Sixteen Trends, Their Profound Impact on Our Future
Author: Gary Marx
Publisher: Editorial Projects in Education
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
Sixteen Trends . . . Their Profound Impact on Our Future Highlighting key factors which are destined to reshape the world, Marx is quick to identify how each of these "trends" will influence educational policy in various ways. With improving academic achievement for ALL students as the main goal, Sixteen Trends provides an enlightened look into the learning processes of the children of tomorrow. Some of the many issues discussed within its contents include: -the shift in population demographics and its role in life-long learning -the need for school curriculum and practices to reflect the dawning of the "information age" -the importance of equilibrium and acceptance of divergent viewpoints in preparing for emerging generations -how continuous improvement will replace "quick fixes" and challenge the status quo theory of education -why the globalization of politics and the economy today will mandate the need for interdependence in educational practice When asked about the importance of his book Sixteen Trends, author Gary Marx states, "Linear goals are not enough. Looking at tomorrow and seeing it only as a little bit more or a little bit less of today just won't cut it as we move into the future. Surrounded by a world filled with discontinuities, we desperately need to set at least a few audacious goals, the kind that took us to the moon and planets, reduced computers from a dozen racks of equipment to a single hand-held device, and envisioned educational opportunity for all. Much of what happens as we break ground on the future will come at us out of the blue. We are in a constant, unrelenting, and exciting race to lay the groundwork for an even brighter future for our children and ourselves." We at ERS are pleased to bring you the latest in Marx's groundbreaking series. According to ERS President Dr. John Forsyth, "Gary Marx's work provides an impetus for our educational community. The ability for ERS to share the information contained within Sixteen Trends is a positive and progressive step in ensuring that we are well-prepared in today's educational system for what the future holds."
