      abstract = {"Cem Erogul's Marxism and the Individual is a highly  valuable contribution in the present era of Marx revival.  This is so not only because of the author's great erudition  and meticulous writing, but for his deep consideration of  Marx's conceptions of the individual, the human, and  species being. Departing from the current convention of  situating Marx mainly in the areas of political economy,  history, and philosophy, but by no means unaware of them,  Erogul makes an original contribution by drawing  extensively from areas currently neglected in Marxism  studies, such as sociology both classical and new, social  psychology, and theories of human evolution, among others.  He shows how these disciplines of social sciences have  benefitted from Marx's critical methods, but also how they  can enrich Marxism studies. Erogul, in the manner of Marx  and Engels, sees Marxism as 'science without positivist  connotations. After a long period of neglect of a genuine  interest in international readings of Marx, we have in  Marxism and the Individual an example of another way of  reading which attempts to address that gap. Cem Erogul  brings to us from Turkey a valuable reading of Marx's  critique and social analysis which overcomes the current  binary perception of Marxism as Eastern and Western. Himani  Bannerji, Professor Emeritus and Senior Scholar, Department  of Sociology, York University, Canada This book attempts to  develop a Marxist theory of the human individual. It  contends that the standard description of the human as a  bio-psycho-social being is fundamentally deficient as it  doesnt specify which of these attributes is the determining  one. As long as this is not done, the real nature of  humanity cannot be uncovered. Cem Erogul is a retired  professor of constitutional law at Ankara University, and  author of textbooks and monographs on constitutional law  and comparative government (in Turkish), including An Essay  on the Nature of the State (1981)},
