What Is Analytical Marxism? (English Edition)

One of the more striking features of contemporary academe has been the development of "analytical Marxism," a hybrid of analytical philosophy and Marxism. It is no different in character from a host of other attempts to combine Marx with major figures or movements of culture, for example, Freud and psychoanalysis. Analytical Marxism participates in the fashionable tendency toward eclecticism. But what distinguishes analytical Marxism is a political amnesia, ignoring the problems for which Marx has been most famous.
