Book Description
The question of philosophy is not an academic or
intellectual question. When Marx said in his celebrated Theses on Feuerbach,
“The philosophers hitherto have interpreted the world in different ways, the
question, however, is to change it,” he intended to convey the real mission of
philosophy. The real philosophy can only be the philosophy of praxis, i.e., the
philosophy of subversive action. This subversive action can be realized only
when philosophy is demystified and becomes a weapon in the hands of the masses.
This book by one of the leading Marxist philosophers of his time, attempts to
understand the real meaning and function of philosophy through a historical
analysis of its development and attempts to develop a Marxist theory of
philosophy. This is not a book on Marxist philosophy. Rather, this a Marxist book
on philosophy. To borrow from Althusser, it is not a discourse in philosophy,
but a discourse on philosophy.
