Description
“Historical Materialism: Basic Problems” by G. Kursanov and G. Glezerman is a seminal work that delves into the foundational concepts and key debates within the framework of historical materialism, a central tenet of Marxist theory. This comprehensive text provides an in-depth analysis of the historical development of society, the role of economic factors in shaping social relations, and the dynamics of class struggle.
Kursanov and Glezerman explore the fundamental principles of historical materialism, tracing its origins to the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. They examine how the mode of production, including the relations of production and the means of production, influences the broader social structure, including politics, culture, and ideology.
Moreover, the authors address critical debates and challenges within historical materialism, such as the role of agency versus structure in historical change, the relationship between economic determinism and human agency, and the applicability of Marxist theory to different historical contexts.
Through rigorous analysis and scholarly engagement with Marxist literature, “Historical Materialism: Basic Problems” offers readers a deeper understanding of the materialist conception of history and its implications for understanding and transforming society. This book serves as an essential resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in Marxist theory and its relevance to contemporary social and political issues.
