A landmark work in political philosophy, The Ethical Foundations of Marxism presents a rigorous and penetrating examination of the moral framework that underpins Marxist thought. Eugene Kamenka argues that Marxism is not merely an economic or political doctrine, but one deeply rooted in a distinct ethical vision inherited from the Enlightenment and German Idealism. The work traces Marx's early humanist writings and illustrates how his concepts of alienation, freedom, and human emancipation form the philosophical bedrock of the broader Marxist tradition. Scholarly yet accessible, Kamenka's analysis uncovers the tensions between Marx's normative ideals and his later claims to scientific objectivity, making this an indispensable text for students of political theory, ethics, and the history of ideas.
