Description
Leszek Kolakowski's masterpiece, one of the twentieth century's most important books—for the first time in a one-volume paperback.
Renowned philosopher Leszek Kolakowski was one of the first scholars to reveal both the shortcomings and the dangers posed by communist regimes. He presents, for the first time in one paperback volume, his definitive Main Currents of Marxism: described by the Library of Congress as "a prophetic work" that provides "the most lucid and comprehensive history of the origins, structure, and posthumous development of the system of thought that had the greatest impact on the 20th century."
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Praised as "considered the definitive work on the subject" by The New York Times, this book is lauded as "a monument of modern humanistic scholarship" (New York Review of Books). Timothy Garton Ash commends Kolakowski as "one of the world's greatest political philosophers and historians of ideas," while John Gray highlights its status as "an unmatched encyclopaedia" and notes the author's "devastating assessment of Marx's thought."
