IN 422 - Key Contemporary Thinkers: MarxCredits: 4
This course is about Marx’s theory through the writings by Karl Marx. Since the goal of this class is to introduce students to Marx’s thought, not Marxism or Marxists, the class is driven by close readings and discussions of Marx’s texts. Engaging key concepts of Marx’s thought, such as alienation, ideology, class struggle, and capital, students read Marx’s key texts from the Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts to Capital and the Critique of the Gotha Program. Focus is on the conceptual rather than historical. The core of the class is Marx’s critique of capitalism and the goal of the class is to introduce students to Marx’s concepts.
