Why Marx Was Right

Серия: "-"

In this combative, controversial book, Terry Eagleton takes issue with the prejudice that Marxism is dead and done with. Taking ten of the most common objections to Marxism--that it leads to political tyranny, that it reduces everything to the economic, that it is a form of historical determinism, and so on - he demonstrates in each case what a woeful travesty of Marx's own thought these assumptions are. In a world in which capitalism has been shaken to its roots by some major crises, Why Marx Was Right is as urgent and timely as it is brave and candid. Written with Eagleton's familiar wit, humor, and clarity, it will attract an audience far beyond the confines of academia.

Eagleton, Terry

   b. 1943
   Literary critic, playwright and academic
   Terry Eagleton is a British Marxist literary critic and Oxford professor, enormously influential in the 1970s and 1980s. Eagleton developed his literary career with studies of Richardson’s Clarissa, the Brontes, Shakespeare and modernism (in Exiles and Emigrés). He came to prominence with his slim overviews of left-wing theory and criticism, Criticism and Ideology (1976) and Marxism and Literary Criticism (1976). Eagleton’s best-selling Literary Theory (1983) became the standard textbook introducing and critiquing the subject, while later works such as The Ideology of the Aesthetic (1990) have taken his career in new directions. Less influential in the 1990s, he has still become a youngish elder statesman of the British left, a key critic of postmodernism, and one of the few world-renowned British academics.
