Principles of Philosophy by Georges Politzer
Probably the best book on theory I’ve ever read. Concise, short and an easy read. Explains everything about both the progression of Marxist philosophy and its opponents. Also made the strongest possible affirmation of my newfound atheism.
An excellent choice, I managed to find a print copy. Comrade’s Library also has epubs for it here.
Shit, without your reading list, I’m not sure If I would have ever discovered it, let alone read it!
Aww, thanks, comrade! I found it off of Crit’s absolute beginner reading list and loved it, so that’s why I put it in!
Spent the day today reading this and it legitimately changed my world and clarified so many aspects I’ve been struggling with that I want to thank you for posting this! This is the one to read.
