About this book
Reviews
In this original and provocative work, Norman Fischer unfolds 'the lost history of republican Marxism,' arguing that not only is Marxism compatible with liberalism as democratic, Marxism demands respect for negative liberties it also advances liberalism. Fischer's pointed defense of 'liberal republican Marxism' sets Marxist Ethics Within Western Political Theory apart it is an eye-opener.' Patrick Murray, Creighton University, USA, author of Marx's Theory of Scientific Knowledge (1988)
'At a time of cultural and political fragmentation, the search for a political philosophy that is both critical and holds to universalist norms, has become elusive. This book, however, provides us with an important corrective to these current academic trends. Fischer's philosophical excavation shows that Marx's ideas are linked to a deep tradition in western political philosophy that emphasized the common good and social justice, a tradition to which we, too, are heirs.' Michael J. Thompson, William Paterson University, USA
