Practical Reasoning in a Social World: How We Act Together

This book proposes a theory of practical reasoning that rests on an appeal to universal features of human agency. It contributes to a growing literature on the relation between actions and institutions; between individuals and the collectivities to which they belong; and between those collectivities and the conditions of agency which they impose. The primary audience for the book will be political philosophers, but the implications of Graham's arguments for political action will interest a secondary readership.

The battle of democracy: Conflict, consensus, and the individual

This text argues that the work of Karl Marx is often confused by misleading association with figures such as Lenin. Here, Marx's philosophy is examined in its own right and reassessed for its relevance to contemporary conditions. Keith Graham starts by identifying Marx's basic ideas: his views of human life and society, the importance of class, the concept of capitalism and its interpretation of history, his theory of change and the problematic relationship between Marxism and materialism are all described and critically assessed. The author then reconstructs Marx's philosophical assumptions. Arriving at a quite different interpretation than is conventionally put forward, Graham argues that Marx's philosophy has greater contemporary relevance and that it is much more resistant to becoming out-dated. It is a philosophy at once more extreme and more moderate: more extreme in rejecting all forms of commodity or market society but more moderate in its choice of the political methods employed to transcend capitalism. This challenging reinterpretation of Marxism should be of value to students and teachers of philosophy, politics, sociology and related disciplines.

The work of Karl Marx is often misunderstood through misleading association with figures such as Lenin. In this new book, Marx's philosophy is examined in its own right and reassessed for its relevance to contemporary conditions.Keith Graham starts by identifying Marx's basic ideas. Reconstructing Marx's philosophical assumptions more explicitly than he did himself, the author then evaluates Marx's general view of human life and society, his specific theory of capitalism and his philosophy of change. The importance of class, Marx's materialism and his problematic relationship with morality are described and critically assessed.Arriving at a view quite different from received interpretations, Graham argues that Marx's philosophy has contemporary relevance and survives the collapse of Leninism. It is a philosophy at once more extreme and more moderate than usually thought: more extreme in rejecting all forms of commodity or market society, but more moderate in its choice of the political methods employed for the transcending of capitalism.This is a challenging interpretation of Marxism, invaluable to students and teachers of philosophy, politics, sociology and related disciplines.
