- Abstract:
- Volume Two of Marx's Socialism from Within. Here I locate Marx within a concept of rational freedom which holds that the freedom of each individual is conditional upon and co-existent with the freedom of all individuals. I, in turn, ground that concept in Marx's normative essentialist anthropology. I show that an essentialist metaphysics is central to Marx's presentation of socialism as a vision of the immanent society, giving ethics a particular character in Marx's practical critique.
