Major themes include Marx's transformation of the Hegelian dialectic; the inseparability of Marx's economics, humanism, and dialectic; the battle of ideas with post-Marx Marxism, beginning with Engels; Black liberation, internationalism, and women's liberation; today's burning question of the relationship between spontaneity, organization, and philosophy; the emergence of counter-revolution from within the revolution; and the problem of what happens after the revolution.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Raya Dunayevskaya</strong> (1910-1987), founder of Marxist-Humanism, was secretary to Leon Trotsky in exile in Mexico (1937-38).
