This work analyses Marx's philosophy of nature and shows how it is the basis for his practical philosophy. Previous analysis of Marx's philosophy of nature has considered humans as only natural beings and social beings. But, Marx analyzed humans' relationship to the natural world and to themselves as natural, social, and material. This material feature of human action can server as a basis for social critique and as the foundation for a practical analysis. The first chapter of this book analyzes Marx's philosophy of nature from his early to late works and argues that humans are natural begins that use nature to develop new capacities. This consideration is central in Marx's critiques of Hegel and Feuerbach. The second chapter discusses Marx's material critique of social forms and discusses why the distinction between material action and social action is a key component of Marx critique of capitalism. This chapter also discusses industrial history, ideology, wages, justice, and valorization. The third and final chapter builds on Marx's materialist analysis to develop a standard of practical action that takes human's material activity as its basis. This chapter also discusses classical historical materialist claims, liberal ethical theories, and a practical philosophic consideration of socialism.

Marxism as an intellectual movement has been one of the most important and fertile contributions to twentieth-century thought. No social theory or political philosophy today can be taken seriously unless it enters a dialogue, not just with the legacy of Marx, but also with the innovations and questions that spring from the movement that his work sparked, Marxism. Marx provided a revolutionary set of ideas about freedom, politics and society. As social and political conditions changed and new intellectual challenges to Marx's social philosophy arose, the Marxist theorists sought to update his social theory, rectify the sociological positions of historical materialism and respond to philosophical challenges with a Marxist reply. This book provides an accessible introduction to Marxism by explaining each of the key concepts of Marxist politics and social theory. The book is organized into three parts, which explore the successive waves of change within Marxist theory and places these in historical context, while the whole provides a clear and comprehensive account of Marxism as an intellectual system.

Since the 1960's, a war has been raging. It is not a war between armies or nations; it is a war of ideas. It is being fought between the values of the Enlightenment, which have built Western civilization into the greatest civilization in human history, and the values of Marxism. Although traditional Marxism, or Classical Marxism, has been effectively extinct since the 1990's, Cultural Marxism has spread like a disease through every aspect of Western society, threatening to bring that society crashing down. Today, Western politics, education, and even popular entertainment, are saturated with Marxist values. An atmosphere of authoritarian intolerance for honest discourse and freedom of speech is now rife. The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with a compact, yet comprehensive, source of reference for understanding the phenomenon of Cultural Marxism, both in the context of history, and in terms of the present day. Topics covered by this book include; * A history of the philosophical evolution of Cultural Marxism, from the philosophies of Kant and Hegel, to Classical Marxism, to the counter-culture of the 1960's. * How the Frankfurt School developed Cultural Marxism, by combining Classical Marxism with the pseudointellectual schools of Freudian psychoanalysis and Boasian anthropology. *The similarities and differences between Classical and Cultural Marxism. * How Cultural Marxism gained a foothold in Western academia by hijacking identity politics. * The formula of Critical Theory, which allows Cultural Marxists to manipulate and control discourse, by means of the intellectually dishonest redefining of words. * How Cultural Marxism is able to perpetuate itself by establishing self-reinforcing cultural and economic feedback loops. * How Cultural Marxism has created an authoritarian intolerance for debate through the creation of political correctness. * The ideological alliance that Cultural Marxism has engineered between the political Left and radical Islam. * The creation of the modern-day Marxist foot soldier; the Social Justice Warrior, or SJW. * How SJW's behave, and why.

Modern philosophy has benefited immensely from the intelligence, and sensitivity, the creative and critical energies, and the lucidity of Polish scholars. Their investigations into the logical and methodological foundations of mathematics, the physical and biological sciences, ethics and esthetics, psychology, linguistics, economics and jurisprudence, and the social science- all are marked by profound and imaginative work. To the centers of empiricist philosophy of science in Vienna, Berlin and Cambridge during the first half of this century, one always added the great school of analytic and methodol ogical studies in Warsaw and Lwow. To the world centers of Marxist theoretical practice in Berlin, Moscow, Paris, Rome and elsewhere, one must add the Poland of the same era, from Ludwik Krzywicki (1859-1941) onward. American socialists and economists will remember the careful work of Oscar Lange, working among us for many years and then after 1945 in Warsaw, always humane, logical, objective. In this volume, our friend and colleague, Jerzy J. Wiatr, has assembled a representative set of recent essays by Polish social scientists and philosophers. Each of these might lead the reader far beyond this book, to look into the Polish Sociological Bulletin which has been publishing Polish sociological studies in English for several decades, to study other translations of books and papers by these authors, and to reflect upon the interplay of logical, phenomenological, Marxist, empiricist and historical learning in modern Polish social understanding.
