This paperback edition, identified by ISBN 0-85527-866-8, presents a critical exploration of Marxist thought, making it a significant contribution to the Philosophy Now series. Joe McCarney, a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the Polytechnic of the South Bank, brings scholarly insight to this work, examining the complex interactions between ideology and societal structures.
