"This book traces the development of dialectical logic within the history of modern western philosophy, culminating in Marx's materialist dialectics. It brings out the essential contours of logic through a detailed exposition of the ontological and epistemological issues discussed by the classical French and German philosophers. The book seeks to establish dialectics not only as the genuine science of thought, the materialist science of the reflection of the movement of the world in the movement of concepts, but in fact as the science of the development of all things, both material and 'spiritual'.".

The essays collected here connect feminist perspectives on the sex industry with radical critiques of racism poverty militarism and unbridled corporate capitalism and how the harms of prostitution and pornography are amplified by contemporary technologies of mass communication. Bringing together research testimony and theory by more than thirty writers and activists from different countries and generations including a number of courageous industry survivors Not For Sale is both a vital contribution to ongoing debates and a call to action and resistance. 446 pp.
