| Summary: | Now, we stand outcast and starving,
Mid the wonders we have made… .
(From ‘Solidarity Forever,’ by Ralph Chaplin)
I belong to a school of thought which has been called
analytical Marxism
. Some of the partisans of this position, and that includes me, are deeply engaged by questions in moral and political philosophy which have not, in the past, attracted the attention of Marxists. We are concerned with exactly what a commitment to equality requires, and with exactly what sort of obligations productive and talented people have to people who are relatively unproductive, or handicapped, or in special need. We seek a precise definition of what exploitation is, and we want to know exactly why it is wrong. |
