Using the techniques of analytic\u003cbr\u003ephilosophy to unite Marx's general statements with\u003cbr\u003ehis practice as historian and activist, Richard W. Miller\u003cbr\u003ederives important arguments about the rational basis\u003cbr\u003eof morality, the nature of power, and the logic of testing\u003cbr\u003eand explanation. The book also makes Marx's theory\u003cbr\u003eof change useful for current social science, by replacing\u003cbr\u003eeconomic determinist readings with a new\u003cbr\u003einterpretation in which systems of power relations are\u003cbr\u003ethe basis of change. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart One discusses Marx's criticisms of the moral\u003cbr\u003epoint of view as a basis for social choice.

Part Two argues\u003cbr\u003ethat Marx's concept of the ruling class is a means, \u003cbr\u003eof measuring political power that is ignored yet urgently\u003cbr\u003eneeded by present-day social science. Part\u003cbr\u003eThree bases Marx's theory of history on the\u003cbr\u003edynamics of power, challenging both the standard, \u003cbr\u003eeconomic determinist readings of the\u003cbr\u003etheory and standard conceptions of science.","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47592113340567,"sku":"9780691014135","price":6648.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780691014135.webp?v=1774976237","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/analyzing-marx-morality-power-and-history-9780691014135","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
