Lenin, Hegel, and Western Marxism: A Critical Study

By Kevin B. Anderson

Book Overview

Still the only full-length study of the achievements and limitations of Lenin's extensive writings on Hegel, Hegel, Lenin, and Western Marxism has become a minor classic. In a full critical account, Anderson's book connects Lenin's 'dialectics' to his renowned writings on imperialism, anti-colonial movements, and the state. It takes up as well the debate over Lenin's writings on Hegel among Marxists such as Georg Luk?cs, Henri Lefebvre, C.L.R. James, Raya Dunayevskaya, Lucio Colletti, and Louis Althusser. With a comprehensive new introduction by the author.

This book is an updated and expanded edition, with a new Introduction by the author; originally published by The University of Illinois Press, 1995 (978-02-52-06503-3).
