A landmark collection of political and philosophical essays, Marx and the Intellectuals presents a rigorous and unflinching critique of Marxist ideology as it intersected with twentieth-century intellectual life. Lewis S. Feuer, one of the most provocative political philosophers of his era, argues that the romance between Western intellectuals and Marxism was driven less by reason than by psychological and generational rebellion. Each essay uncovers the mechanisms by which ideological thinking distorts scholarship, politics, and culture, illuminating the tension between critical thought and dogmatic commitment. Written in a sharp, analytical tone, the collection details how post-ideological thinking can liberate the intellectual from the constraints of rigid doctrine. A vital and enduring work, it remains essential reading for anyone interested in the history of ideas, the sociology of knowledge, and the legacy of Marx in modern thought.
