Free Download Maurizio Ricciardi, "The Provisional Power: Marx and Politics As a Critique of Society "
English | ISBN: 9004699155 | 2024 | 188 pages | PDF | 15 MB
In this book, you can find an accurate and unusual analysis of the different ways in which Karl Marx investigates the political and social phenomenon of power. As a political militant, as a journalist, as a critic of capitalism and as a revolutionary theorist, Marx continually confronts the ways in which individuals and social classes enter into power relations. For Marx, however, there is no bourgeois power that proletarians can simply conquer and then use to their advantage. Workers’ power is always provisional because it constantly changes the very conditions of its own production.

Marx’s Ethical Vision


Free Download Vanessa Christina Wills, "Marx’s Ethical Vision"
English | ISBN: 0197688144 | 2024 | 320 pages | PDF | 4 MB
"The communists do not preach morality at all"; this line from The Communist Manifesto might seem to settle the question of whether Marxism has anything to offer moral philosophy. Yet, Marx issued both trenchant critiques of "bourgeois" morality and thundering condemnations of capitalism’s "vampire-like" destructiveness. He decried commodity-exchange for corroding our ability to value one another for who we are, not how much our lives could be traded away for. He expressed apparently ethical views about human nature, the conditions necessary for human flourishing, and the desirability of bringing such conditions about-views that are interwoven throughout his life’s work, from his youthful philosophical poetry to his unfinished masterpiece, Capital.

In contrast to the traditional view that Marx’s work is restricted to a critique of capitalism – and that he consciously avoided any detailed conception of its alternative – this work shows that Marx was committed to a specific concept of a post-capitalist society which informed the whole of his approach to political economy.
