Philosophy and Revolution: From Hegel to Sartre, and from Marx to Mao

Few thought systems have been as distorted and sometimes misconstrued as that of Karl Marx. Philosophy and Revolution attempts to save Marx from interpretations which restrict the revolutionary significance of the philosophy behind his theory. Raya Dunayevskaya aims a total liberation of the human person - no only form the ills of a capitalist society but also from the equally oppressive state capitalism of established communist governments. Dunayevskaya combines within herself an incorruptible objectivity with a passionate political attitude, making this work a concrete discussion of the vicissitudes of society, justice, equality and existence.
