ISBN: 9780691014135.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book Marx is revealed as a powerful contributor\nto the debates that now dominate philosophy\nand political theory. Using the techniques of analytic\nphilosophy to unite Marxs general statements with\nhis practice as historian and activist, Richard W. Miller\nderives important arguments about the rational basis\nof morality, the nature of power, and the logic of testing\nand explanation. The book also makes Marxs theory\nof change useful for current social science, by replacing\neconomic determinist readings with a new\ninterpretation in which systems of power relations are\nthe basis of change.\n\nPart One discusses Marxs criticisms of the moral\npoint of view as a basis for social choice. The outlook\nthat emerges is humane but antimoral. Part Two argues\nthat Marxs concept of the ruling class is a means,\nof measuring political power that is ignored yet urgently\nneeded by present-day social science. Part\nThree bases Marxs theory of history on the\ndynamics of power, challenging both the standard,\neconomic determinist readings of the\ntheory and standard conceptions of science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44976985866293,"sku":"ByrdShop_0691014132","price":117.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780691014135_5ba1985d-8b3d-4d8e-8c25-644fa80c1c9f.jpg?v=1778656705","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/analyzing-marx-9780691014135","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
