The Philosophical Roots
of Anti-Capitalism

Studies in Marxism and Humanism

Kevin B. Anderson, University of California, Santa Barbara and Peter Hudis, Oakton
Community College

In the spirit of the dialectical humanist perspective developed by Raya Dunayevskaya (1910–1987), rooted in the thought of Marx and Hegel, this series publishes across a broad spectrum focusing on figures and ideas that are fundamental to the development of Marxist Humanism. This will include historical works, works by Dunayevskaya herself, and new work that investigates or is based upon Marxist Humanist thought.
