This volume is among the first in a new series intended to serve as "companions" to the works of major philosophers. Its 13 chapters include some of the best Anglo-American authors on Karl Marx. Yet those who feel that such a book must reflect the major interests of its subject will be astonished by the absence of a chapter devoted to economics and the presence of those concerning feminism, "gender theory," and religion. The editor's stated appreciation of the separation of the "Marxian from the Marxist" could have better focused his choice of topics. Nevertheless, the unimpeachable quality of individual chapters demonstrates the enduring value of Marx's text. Richard Miller's chapter on social and political theory carefully discusses Marx's use of such terms as "exploitation," "the state," and "ideology"; Scott Meikle exposes the "confusion" of Marx's thought with "progressive Benthamite egalitarianism"; Laurence Wilde addresses the neglected question of Marx's dialectical reasoning. The bibliography is especially welcome. Recommended for academic and larger public libraries.-- Zachary T. Irwin, Pennsylvania State Univ.-Erie
