<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Karl Kautsky's essential works on Democracy, translated into English for the first time.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Karl Kautsky (1854-1938) was the leading theoretician of the German Social Democratic Party and one of the most prominent public intellectuals of his time. However, during the twentieth century a constellation of historical factors ensured that his ideas were either gradually consigned to near oblivion or downright reviled. Not only has his political thought been dismissed in non-Marxist historical and political discourse, but his ideas are equally discredited in Marxist circles.</p><p>This book aims to rekindle interest in Kautsky's ideas by exploring his democratic-republican understanding of state and society. These essential works from different points in his career demonstrates how Kautsky's republican thought was positively influenced by Marx and Engels--especially in relation to the lessons they drew from the experience of the Paris Commune.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Karl Kautsky (1854-1938) was the leading theoretician of the German Social Democratic Party and one of the most prominent public intellectuals of his time.</p><p>Ben Lewis is a tutor and Wolfson Scholar PhD candidate in Germanic Studies at the University of Sheffield.
