This edition makes easily accessible the most important parts of Marx’s and Engels’ major early philosophical work, and is ideal for students. It includes a brilliant exposition of historical materialism, and is Marx and Engels’s first presentation of the new revolutionary philosophy, written with all the freshness of a new discovery.

Translated by W. Lough, C. Dutt and C. P. Magill.

This edited student edition makes easily accessible the most important extracts of Marx’s and Engels’ major early philosophical work, The German Ideology. The full text, which Marx and Engels were unable to get published in their lifetimes, occupied some 650 pages.

This lengthy polemic was introduced by a brilliant exposition of the fundamental ideas of historical materialism which Marx and Engels were then working out, and is included in this volume. This is their first presentation of the new revolutionary philosophy, written with all the freshness of a new discovery.

This edition contains the first part of the complete work, together with a number of excerpts presenting the key points of the text overall, and which remain highly relevant today.

The editor has added an introduction dealing with the place of The German Ideology in the evolution of Marxism and containing a summary of the contents and controversies which occupy the parts of the work not printed here. Marx’s famous Theses on Feuerbach and his unfinished Introduction to a Critique of Political Economy are added as appendices.
