Marx’s Capital: Hegelian Sources
Hegelian Sources

Marx’s Capital: Hegelian Sources is the second volume in Andy Blunden’s series on how Marx used Hegel’s Logic in his Capital.

Following the companion volume, The Capital/Logic Debate, Blunden presents a systematic presentation of the Hegelian structure of the three volumes of Capital. It is shown that Capital contains three distinct layers of structure, originating from Marx’s reading of Hegel’s Logic and his Philosophy of Right. Capital reflects Marx’s critique of the Political Economists, his unique appropriation of economic history and an application of the method outlined by Hegel in his Logic and applied to his Encyclopaedia. These insights into Capital are presented here for the first time.

Reviews
  • “The book is written in an expressively engaging and dialogical style [...] an excellent companion for undergraduate and graduate students having a year course on all three volumes of Capital. It is an honest and unbiased reproduction of the material. The labyrinth of the three volumes is complex enough to deserve such a companion.”
