Zoom Meeting on Marx’s Philosophical Ground

Sunday, October 6, from 1 to 3 pm EDT

“The Ground on Which Marx Stood when Turning to Reality and Practice”: Andrew Kliman will lead the discussion on Raya Dunayevskaya’s unique and challenging view that Marx began to develop his Marxism before he was a Marxist, when he was working out the dialectic of the transformation of reality. This was the ground on which he stood when he later turned to the real world and to practice.

To attend, send MHI a request to attend by Oct. 1; state briefly why you’re interested in MHI and your location.

About Our Masthead

The illustration in the masthead of this publication, With Sober Senses, is an 1843 political cartoon entitled “Prometheus Bound.” It comments on the Prussian government’s suppression of the Rheinische Zeitung, a newspaper Karl Marx edited in 1842 and 1843. Marx is chained to the printing press; the bird gnawing at him is the Royal Prussian eagle.
