Marx's Ethical Vision by Vanessa Christina Wills
Vanessa Wills, an assistant professor of philosophy at George Washington University, authored the book "Marx's Ethical Vision."The book presents novel Marxist positions in various philosophical debates and covers a vast range of Karl Marx's writings while giving a holistic account of his views throughout his life.
The book engages with Marx's reception among analytical philosophers while explaining the value of Marx's distinctively "dialectical" method. The book is written in an accessible style suitable for readers unfamiliar with Marx as well as those who are familiar with his work.
Wills' work focuses on moral, social and political philosophy, 19th-century German philosophy and the philosophy of race. Her research focuses on the ways economic and social arrangements can inhibit or promote the realization of values such as freedom, equality and human development.
