Publisher's Synopsis
This book examines the ontological commitments that Marx and later Marxists inherited from Aristotle. It shows why such ontological commitments are important and why missing them out, or getting them wrong, causes theoretical and political problems. It also explains the plausibility of an Aristotelian reading of Marx and links this to a critique of analytical Marxism and the later philosophy of Lukács. As such it adds to ? and takes issue with ? the growing transatlantic scholarship highlighting the Marx?Aristotle relationship.
