In Marxism and Philosophy Korsch argues for a reexamination of the relationship between Marxist theory and bourgeois philosophy, and insists on the centrality of the Hegelian dialectic and a commitment to revolutionary praxis. Although widely attacked in its time, Marxism and Philosophy has attained a place among the most important works of twentieth-century Marxist theory, and continues to merit critical reappraisal from scholars and activists today.
Fred Halliday (1946–2010) was well known as an authority on international affairs. He was the editor of Isaac Deutscher’s Russia, China and the West, and the author of Arabia Without Sultans, Threat from the East, Iran and, with Maxine Molyneux, The Ethiopian Revolution.
