What is Marx & Marxism about?

Melbourne School of Continental Philosophy, Winter School, 2009. — 59 pages. This course will focus on a series of 8 key texts written by Karl Marx himself, rather than attempting to present yet another overview or ‘user manual’ of Marxism. In this way, participants will be able to gain a thorough grasp of Marx’s legacy based on familiarity with Marx’s own writings. Participants will appreciate why Marx became the icon of a revolutionary workers’ movement, and why a serious study of his work is the sine qua non of understanding twentieth century social theory and philosophy. The final day of the course will be devoted to assessing the reception of Marx in the social movement known as ‘Marxism’. The prescribed texts are: The Communist Manifesto (1848) Third Address to the International on the Paris Commune (1871) Theses on Feuerbach (1845) The Method of Political Economy from The Grundrisse (1857) and an excerpt from the Preface to A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy. (1859) Introduction to Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right (1843) The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte (1852) Capital, Volume I, Chapter 1, Commodities (excluding §3 1867) Capital, Volume II
