| Synopsis: |
Approaching Marxism from the perspective of the philosophy of science, Helena Sheehan illuminates the complex conjuncture of science, philosophy, and politics within Marxism. Sheehan shows how Marx's and Engels's ideas on the development and structure of natural science had a crucial impact on the work of early twentieth-century natural philosophers, historians of science, and natural scientists. She retraces the development of Marxist philosophy of science through detailed and highly readable accounts of the debates that have characterised it. In so doing, she covers a large number of thinkers besides Marx, Engels, and Lenin, including J. D. Bernal, J. B. S. Haldane, Christopher Caudwell, and other British Marxists of the 1930s. This book was originally published by Humanities Press in 1985, when it was selected as a Choice "Academic Book of the Year.' This first paperback edition contains a new introduction by the author, plus the author's revisions to the original text. |
