Karl Marx's theory of ideas
John Torrance takes a fresh, un-Marxist approach to Marx's texts and shows that a more precise, coherent and cogent sociology of ideas can be extracted from them than is generally allowed. He explores the implications of this for twentieth-century capitalism and for recent debates about Marx's conceptions of justice, morality and the history of social science.
