Karl Marx: Selected Writings - Softcover

Karl Marx was a philosopher, economist, sociologist, journalist, and revolutionary socialist. Born in Prussia to a middle-class family, he later studied political economy and Hegelian philosophy where much of his epistemology and political ideologies were formed. As an adult, Marx became stateless and spent much of his life in London, England, where he continued to develop his views on social sciences and philosophy in collaboration with German thinker Friedrich Engels and published various works, the most well known being the 1848 pamphlet The Communist Manifesto which is contained in this anthology volume of his writings. Karl Marx's work has since influenced subsequent intellectual, economic, and political history. Karl Marx's theories about society, economics and politics are collectively understood as Marxism. Karl Marx's writings are often textbook required reading in various courses, such as humanities, epistemology, philosophy, and politics & social sciences. This anthology volume includes eight of Marx's most influential writings, such as On The Jewish Question, French Materialism, The English Revolution, and The Communist Manifesto.
