The Marxian Revolutionary Idea By RÓBERT C. TUCKER "In his parting word about Marx at Highgate Cemetery, Engels characterized his friend as 'before all else a revolutionist.'

The revolutionary idea was the keystone of his theoretical structure. Marxism, as he fashioned it with the assistance of Engels, was in its essence a theory and program of revolution."

In this volume Róbert C. Tucker looks critically at the later writings of Marx and Engels, not only as political theory but as the ideology for political revolution. From the vantage point established in his earlier work - that there is a continuity underlying Marx's writing from the newly discovered manuscripts of 1844 to the mature work, Capital - Professor Tucker examines Marx as a social, morál, and political theorist, and a theorist of modernization. "The Marxian Revolutionary Idea" is followed, in thought and application, through infancy to maturity, in success and failure, and finally as it has been transformed by modern socialism. Róbert C. Tucker is Professor of Politics and Director of Russian Studies at Princeton University. He is currently on a Guggenheim Fellowship as a member of the School of Historical Studies at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N. J. His previous works include Philosophy and Myth in Kari Marx; The Soviet Political Mind; The Great Fürge Trial, coedited with Stephen Cohen; and numerous articles.
