Description: First published
in 1938 by a leader of the Council Communism movement, Anton Pannekoek's Lenin
as Philosopher offers a classic left-wing interpretation and critique of
Lenin's philosophical accomplishment and its relationship to the development of
Leninism as perhaps the dominant political theory of the twentieth century.
Providing a
detailed discussion of the philosophical background to the Machist controversy
which occasioned Lenin's Materialism and Empirio criticism, Pannekoek's study
still stands as one of the most forceful and politically astute discussions of
the topic available.
Published here
for the first time in an annotated and scholarly edition, this masterpiece of
Marxist criticism is accompanied by a lengthy new introduction expanding and
assessing Pannekoek's discussion and arguing for the continuing relevance of
Lenin's thought for Marxism in the new millenium.
