Abstract

This book is a guide to Marxist philosophy for English-speaking students who are beginners in this study. It is a guide to readings, not to the doctrines themselves. It limits itself to philosophy and is not concerned directly with economics, political science, or sociology. All books listed have been written in English or are available in English translations. Each of the chapters contains an introduction, an annotated list of books appropriate for the beginner, and a second list for further study. The introductory chapter is a brief statement about the varieties of Marxism and offers suggestions for study; included are a list of introductions, reference works, and journals and suggestions of where books published overseas and not readily available can be purchased.
