Book Description
The question of philosophy is not an academic or
intellectual question. When Marx said in his celebrated Theses on Feuerbach,
"The philosophers hitherto have interpreted the world in different ways,
the question, however, is to change it," he intended to convey the real
mission of philosophy. The real philosophy can only be the philosophy of
praxis, I.e., the philosophy of subversive action. This subversive action can
be realized only when philosophy is demystified and becomes a weapon in the
hands of the masses.
This book by one of the leading Marxist
philosophers of his time, attempts to understand the real meaning and function
of philosophy through a historical analysis of its development and attempts to
develop a Marxist theory of philosophy. This is not a book on Marxist
philosophy. Rather, this is a Marxist book on philosophy. To borrow from
Althusser, it is not a discourse in philosophy, but a discourse on philosophy.
