Extract

Moral philosophers continue to divide on the conundrum of Marx and morality — how a ferocious moral critic of nineteenth-century capitalism could also denounce morality as an ideological snare and delusion. In Marxism and the Moral Point of View, Kai Nielsen brings together many years of thought on both terms of the question, rightly seeking a balance between Marx's moralism and Marx's anti-moralism.

Notes

1 This discussion has benefited from responses by Kai Nielsen to an earlier version read on May 27, 1989, at the annual meetings of the Canadian Philosophical Association. It has also gained from the contribution of my co-symposiast, Derek Allen, and from suggestions by John McMurtry.
