Zusatztext "This excellent book manages to convey! with compelling clarity! some of the most profound and nuanced philosophical themes; it helps restore the dialecticity of Marxist thought by elaborating its Hegelian origins. It is the best book I have come across on the Marxist concept of 'alienation'." - Tony McKenna! Marx and Philosophy Review of Books "Sean Sayer's book is an impressive attempt to offer a defence of the Hegelian dimension of Marx's thought! and through it to defend Marx's theory of alienation." - Dan Swain! International Socialism Journal "Sayers provides a powerful argument for the deep-lying Hegelianism of Marx's thought! sheds new light on some well-trodden areas! and writes in an accessible style that much Marx scholarship still lacks. What he proves! above all else! is that whilst a great deal has been written on Hegel-Marx relationship! this way of approaching Marx's philosophical ideas remains the most fertile field of inquiry for Marx scholarship today." - Jan Kandiyali!
