This book is ideal for scholars, philosophers, and advanced students interested in Marxism, Wittgenstein's philosophy, social and political philosophy, and the philosophy of social science and political economy.

This book develops and extends the unorthodox view that there are deeper philosophical commonalities between Marx and Wittgenstein than may at first be apparent.

Description

At first sight, Karl Marx and Ludwig Wittgenstein may well seem to be as different from each other as it is possible for the ideas of two major intellectuals to be.

Despite this standard conception, however, a small number of scholars have long suggested that there are deeper philosophical commonalities between Marx and Wittgenstein. They have argued that, once grasped, these commonalities can radically change and enrich understanding both of Marxism and of Wittgensteinian philosophy. Marx and Wittgenstein develops and extends this unorthodox view, emphasising the mutual enrichment that comes from bringing Marx's and Wittgenstein's ideas into dialogue with one another.

Essential reading for all scholars and philosophers interested in the Marxist philosophy and the philosophy of Wittgenstein, this book will also be of vital interest to those studying and researching in the fields of social philosophy, political philosophy, philosophy of social science and political economy.
