Gareth Stedman Jones depicts an era dominated by extraordinary challenges and new notions about God, human capacities, empires, and political systems--and, above all, the shape of the future. In the aftermath of the Battle of Waterloo, a Europe-wide argument began about the industrial transformation of England, the Revolution in France, and the hopes and fears generated by these occurrences. Would the coming age belong to those enthralled by the revolutionary events and ideas that had brought this world into being, or would its inheritors be those who feared and loathed it? Stedman Jones gives weight not only to Marx's views but to the views of those with whom he contended. He shows that Marx was as buffeted as anyone else living through a period that both confirmed and confounded his interpretations--and that ultimately left him with terrible intimations of failure. Karl Marx allows the reader to understand Marx's milieu and development, and makes sense of the devastating impact of new ways of seeing the world conjured up by Kant, Hegel, Feuerbach, Ricardo, Saint-Simon, and others. We come to understand how Marx transformed and adapted their philosophies into ideas that would have--through twists and turns inconceivable to him--an overwhelming impact across the globe in the twentieth century.--$$cProvided by publisher. 000775624 60010 $$aMarx, Karl,$$d1818-1883. 000775624 650_0 $$aPhilosophy, Marxist. 000775624 650_0 $$aCommunism and society. 000775624 651_0 $$aEurope$$xIntellectual life$$y19th century. 000775624 651_0 $$aEurope$$xPolitics and government$$y1789-1900. 000775624 655_7 $$aBiographies.$$2lcgft 000775624 85200 $$bgen$$hHX39$$i.S74$$i2016 000775624 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:775624$$pGLOBAL_SET 000775624 980__ $$aBIB 000775624 980__ $$aBOOK
