This book proposes a Marxist analysis of young Marxs intellectual evolution, from left neo-hegelianism to his new philosophy of praxis. It distinguishes itself from most other books on the early Marx by it's object-the theory of (proletarian) revolutionary self-emancipation and its method-to understand the movement of Marxs political and philosophical ideas in relation to the most radical currents in the labour movement of his time (beginning with Chartism and the uprising of the Silesian weavers in 1844). The central theoretical argument of the author is that Marxs philosophy of praxis-first formulated in the Thesis on Feuerbach - is at the same time the founding stone of a new world view and the methodological basis for the theory of revolutionary self-emancipation.
