Marxismo e cristianesimo

MacIntyre's thesis begins with the assertion that "Only one secular doctrine retains the scope of traditional religion in offering an interpretation of human existence by means of which men may situate themselves in the world and direct their actions to ends that transcend those offered by their imm Leggi tutto

Mostly functions as a very good history of Marxist thought by a superbly analytical mind. The two main points on which he finds comparisons between Marxism and Christianity are at the very beginning, seeing in Marxism, and its predecessor Hegelianism, a secularization of some core elements of Christ Leggi tutto

Somewhat informative, MacIntyre argues that Marxism "humanizes" certain Christian teachings and that Marxism is (in some ways) the historical successor of Christianity.

Unfortunately, this is not a great piece of work. MacIntyre is a fantastic mind. I'm a top, top fan of his but this is adolescent, relatively speaking. The language used is unnecessarily obtuse to the point where you begin to wonder whether he isn't simply flaunting his talents. The blurb states "Th Leggi tutto
