The Power of Negativity: Selected Writings on the Dialectic in Hegel and Marx (The Raya Dunayevskaya Series in Marxism and Humanism)

About this book

Raya Dunayevskaya is hailed as the founder of Marxist-Humanism in the United States. In this new collection of her essays co-editors Peter Hudis and Kevin B. Anderson have crafted a work in which the true power and originality of Dunayevskayas ideas are displayed. This extensive collection of writings on Hegel Marx and dialectics captures Dunayevskayas central dictum that contrary to the established views of Hegelians and Marxists Hegel was of signal importance to the theory and practice of Marxism. The Power of Negativity sheds light not only on Marxist-Humanism and the rooting of Dunayevskayas Marxist-Humanist theories in Hegel but also on the life of one of Americas most penetrating and provocative critical thinkers.
