Beschreibungen

<div><p>This book provides close readings of primary texts to analyze the linkage between G.W.F. Hegel’s philosophy and Karl Marx’s critical social theory of necessity and freedom. This is important for three reasons: first, to understand the significance of the changing relationships of work, society, and critical social theory in the origins of Hegelian-Marxism in the US, as documented in the recently published correspondence between the Marxist-Humanist theoretician Raya Dunayevskaya and the critical theorist Herbert Marcuse; second, to identify the intersections of the Critical Theorists Jurgen Habermas’ and Marcuse’s influential reinterpretations of Marx’s “value theory” of economy and society that enables navigation of the changing relationships of the social and economic spheres in the last century, as developed in Marx’s<i> Grundrisse</i>; and, thirdly, to assess the potential of Moishe Postone’s renewal of Marx’s value theory, largely conceived by the notion of a necessity andfreedom dialectic intrinsic to capitalism.</p>&nbsp;</div><div><br></div>

Shows the current and unique social relevance of the relationship of Hegel’s philosophy and Marx’s critical theory. Includes an assessment of Postone’s original reinterpretations of Marx’s critical theory within a growing body of work that indicates a renewal of interest in the ideas of the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory Helps to shape changes in the workplace, key for attaining the goal of a society free of social domination
“Russell Rockwell's book is a rigorous and pathbreaking examination of Hegel and Marx's philosophies of necessity and freedom as interpreted by the Critical Theory tradition. It offers the most thorough analysis to date of the unjustly neglected Marcuse-Dunayevskaya correspondence, and builds on this foundation to offer insightful appraisals of Marcuse, Habermas, and Moishe Postone's theories of value, labor, automation, and the human in late capitalism. Essential reading for anyone interested in the critique of Marx and Hegel in Frankfurt School Critical Theory.” (Nick Nesbitt, Professor, Comparative Literature, Princeton University, USA)<p>“Rockwell’s ambitious study will remain essential reading for anyone concerned with the fundamental question of necessity and freedom, and for those generally interested in Marx’s critical social theory, Hegelian dialectics, Critical Theory and Marxist-Humanism.” (Shannon Brincat, Senior Lecturer, Politics and International Relations, University ofthe Sunshine Coast, Australia)</p>
