The First Marx: A Philosophical Introduction: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The First Marx: A Philosophical Introduction" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Marxs early work is well known and widely available, but it usually interpreted as at best a kind of stepping-stone to the Marx ofCapital. This book offers something completely different; it reconstructs, from his first writings spanning from 1835 to 1846, a coherent and well-rounded political philosophy. The influence of Engels upon the development of that philosophy is discussed. This, it is argued, was a philosophy that Marx could have presented had he put the ideas together, as he hinted was his eventual intention. Had he done so, this first Marx would have made an even greater contribution to social and political philosophy than is generally acknowledged today.
Arguments regarding revolutionary change, contradiction and other topics such as production, alienation and emancipation contribute to a powerful analysis in the early works of Marx, one which is worthy of discussion on its own merits. This analysis is distributed among a range of books, papers, letters and other writings, and is gathered here for the first time. Marxs work of the period was driven by his commitment to emancipation. Moreover, as is discussed in the conclusion to this book, his emancipatory philosophy continues to have resonance today. This new book presents Marx in a unique, new light and will be indispensable reading for all studying and following his work.

CONTENTS

Karl Marx was born on 5 May 1818. We finished the manuscript for this book two months before the day of his bicentennial anniversary. The first Marx with whom we are concerned in the book actually began to emerge in the 1830s when his voracious reading led him to discover Kant, Hegel and the thinkers who became known as the Young Hegelians. He soon became very critical, although to different degrees, of all these philosophers along with many others of his own times and before. By the late 1840s, Marx had begun to undergo the process of metamorphosis by which he gradually became quite a different thinker albeit one who never entirely abandoned many of his earlier ideas, even though he voiced some of them in quite different terms.

We are not concerned in what follows with the later Marx, tempting as it is in some places to compare and contrast him with the first Marx. Instead we have identified ways in which the first Marxs many various writings, along with some of those of Engels with whom he had had already by 1844 begun to work closely, can together be reconstructed to form a coherent, radical social and political philosophy. Marx at times indicated that he intended to do something like this. Once, however, he had abandoned the manuscript of The German Ideology to the mice, philosophy had taken a back seat as he was concerned primarily with actually changing the world. We hope our reconstruction makes a worthwhile contribution to the early project which he never finished.

We would like to thank everybody at Bloomsbury, especially Frankie Mace and Liza Thompson, for being so understanding about the unfortunate and unavoidable delay in submitting our manuscript. We are also very grateful to the staff of the National Health Service for making the completion of this book possible.

Thanks go to Staffordshire University for allowing us the time to work on the book and to our colleagues at the University who have been very helpful in many ways. We also acknowledge the invitation we accepted to present our ideas on the first Marx in the Royal Institute of Philosophy lecture series at Keele University. We received some very helpful questions and other feedback from the audience at our lecture.

Finally, it almost goes without saying that we thank Val, Catherine, Eleanor, others in our families, our colleagues and our friends for all their help over the course of a very difficult period.

In the early to mid-1840s, Karl Marx produced a wide and varied range of writings which, when considered together, comprise a coherent and cogent political philosophy. Beginning with the doctoral dissertation (DD, CW1) he submitted in the spring of 1841, and spanning the next five years until he and Friedrich Engels wrote The German Ideology (GI, CW5) in 1845 and 1846, the building blocks of this philosophy emerged in an untidy assortment of books, journalistic pieces, letters, drafts and various other documents. The majority of these items were never published in Marxs lifetime and the fragments of the philosophy embedded in this assortment have yet to be satisfactorily pieced together.
