With the renewed interest in Marx's early thought and the startlingly diverse claims that have been made about it and its relationship to his later work, this volume presents a comprehensive collection of Marx's early writings on the nature of religion, freedom of the press, the relation of the state to democracy, humanism as opposed to philosophical idealism, the "alienation" of man, and the relation of communism to historical "praxis," all in new translations by the editors and many translated into English for the first time.
This collection, based upon definitive German editions of Marx and study of original manuscripts and first editions, fills the gap between the "young" and the "old" Marx and reveals their difference. as well as their continuity. A substantial introduction and detailed headnotes to each selection indicate the significance of the writings chosen and their relationship to Marx's later works.
