"This collection makes an absolutely compelling case that Marx holds a central place in the great tradition of normative social philosophy from Kant and Rousseau to Rawls and Honneth...The sophistication with which Marx’s arguments are examined surely makes this one of the most important books in Marxian philosophy published in recent decades." - Tony Smith, Marx & Philosophy Review of Books
"This very stimulating volume raises – and indicates various ways of answering – the question as to what it means to take Marx as a philosopher." - Meade McCloughan, Marx & Philosophy Review of Books
"Kandiyali’s collection evidences the powerful normative dimension to Marx’s thought." - Paul Blackledge, Critique
"Overall, this volume will be of great value to scholars and advanced students interested in recent debates in Marxist philosophy. By providing a survey of this upswing in research on Marx, drawing connections with Hegel scholarship and Anglo-American philosophy, it makes an important contribution towards revivifying the significant resources that the Marxian toolbox can provide to contemporary critical thought." - Robert P. Jackson, Hegel Bulletin
