A Promethean Vision – The Formation of Karl Marx's Worldview

Eric Rahim's book A Promethean Vision – The Formation of Karl Marx's Worldview outlines the main intellectual stages in the development of Karl Marx’s theory of historical development, often referred to as historical materialism or the materialist conception of history. Rahim charts Marx’s journey from his early life as a Young Hegelian immersed in German philosophical traditions through his turn toward political economy, his interest in Adam Smith and finally his maturing into a truly revolutionary thinker and founder of scientific socialism.
