View Full Paper
HSHelena Sheehan

Key Points

  • Marxist philosophy emphasizes the understanding of historical context, particularly through Hegel's ideas.
  • The exploration connects the current political situation with historical philosophical trends, highlighting relevance.
  • Identifying core truths within Marxism showcases the ongoing importance of praxis and historical materialism.
  • The relevance of philosophy today is illuminated, as Marxist thinkers engage with historical frameworks and methodologies.

Abstract

"Why," Helena Sheehan asks, "have Marxists…put so much emphasis on the history of philosophy?" She adds: "Is the current G. W. F. Hegel revival conductive to coming to terms with the current conjuncture?" In answering these questions, Sheehan elucidates deep truths about the core of Marxist philosophy and practice, and the importance of remaining deeply rooted in the real world.
