Peter Singer is Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics in the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University, a position that he now combines with the position of Laureate Professor at the University of Melbourne. An Australian, in 2012 he was made a Companion to the Order of Australia, his country's highest civilian honor. His books include Animal Liberation (1975; Bodley Head, 2015), Practical Ethics (1979; CUP, 2011), The Life You Can Save (Picador, 2010), and The Most Good You Can Do (Yale University Press, 2015).
Includes a new chapter showing how these theories can be applied to twenty first century politics and society, and considers whether they still hold true
Karl Marx is one of the most influential philosophers of all time, whose theories have shaped and directed political, economic, and social thought for 150 years. Considering Marx's life and impact, renowned philosopher Peter Singer identifies the central vision that unifies Marx's thought, enabling us to grasp Marx's views as a whole. Presenting Marx as a philosopher primarily concerned with human freedom, rather than as an economist or a social scientist, Singer explains Marx's key ideas on alienation, historical materialism, and the economic theory of Capital, in plain English.
In this new edition, Singer explores whether Marx remains relevant to the twenty-first century, and if so, how. Does the fact that eight billionaires now own as much as the bottom half of the world's population give support to Marxist thinking? Does the ease with which conservative politicians can win over working class voters by appealing to nationalism undermines Marx's view of class struggle and the inevitability of victory for the proletariat? Singer ponders key questions such as these, and also discusses the place of the internet as a "productive force" when analyzed in Marxist theory. He concludes with an assessment of Marx's legacy, asking if there is any realistic prospect of replacing capitalism with a better system of production and distribution in the twenty-first century.

評分伴著金融危機,西方又掀起瞭反思資本主義和嚮馬剋思主義尋求答案的潮流。馬剋思的偉大之處在於他提齣瞭一個關於人類的不平等的原因的理論,並提齣瞭基本上可以自圓其說的解決方法。然而他的觀點也是被誤讀和綁架得最多的。要理解馬剋思的真正意圖,重新迴到作為其思想根源的黑...

按照哲學、曆史、經濟、政治與革命的的順序準確簡要介紹瞭馬的思想,不同時期思想如何發展脈絡清晰,的確是一部很好的入門作品。 不過作者所做對馬在經濟、communism與proletalian revolution與最近相關如金融危機、全球化、貧富差距等問題的評價或批評有些流於俗套(不過就一位非Marxism的學者所著通識性作品來說也情有可原)。
