Analytical and Essential Marxism

Alan Carling

Political Studies, 1997, vol. 45, issue 4, 768-783

Abstract: Analytical Marxism involves the attempt to reconstruct Marxist theory and to refocus Marxist politics in the light of contemporary intellectual developments – especially in analytical philosophy and economic theory—and historical events – above all, the failures of Communist regimes. In order to assess this reconstruction it is necessary to bear in mind a conception of the overall Marxist project. By this standard of comparison it remains to be seen whether Analytical Marxism can effect the required kind of connection between its theory and its practice.
